Coffee Worth Coming Back To: A Specialty Roaster Growing Roots in Ohio
November 20, 2025
If you're searching for exceptional small batch specialty coffee in Columbus, Ohio, you've probably noticed there's no shortage of options. But finding a roaster that combines outstanding quality with small-town friendliness, service, and heart? That's a different story.
Our Story in Central Ohio
We launched in October 2023 with a simple belief: our Mount Vernon community deserves the best cup of coffee—served with real warmth and authenticity. What started as a passion for quality roasting has grown into something bigger than we imagined.
Today, we're proud to serve the greater Columbus area from two thriving café locations: one in Mount Vernon, North Main Café
(also the home of our roasting space) and another in Mansfield, 4th Street Coffee House.
And if you can't visit us in person, our online store
brings our specialty beans directly to your door.
What Sets Us Apart in the Columbus Coffee Scene
There are undeniably many incredible coffee companies out there.
We're not here to claim we're the only choice. What makes us different is the why behind what we do.
Our faith isn't just something we mention—it drives our entire mission. We believe that great coffee can do more than just brighten your morning. When we partner with coffee farms, we're thinking about impact. When we serve you here in Ohio, we're thinking about community. Because we've seen firsthand that when you impact your community, you impact the world.
We believe that there is no greater impact than the spread of the gospel—and want our profits and work to help fuel that spread to our friends and neighbors here in Ohio, and to the ends of the earth.
Local Coffee, Global Impact
Every bag of beans we roast tells a story that starts at origin and ends in your cup.
But more importantly, it represents our commitment to the coffee farmers who grow these beans and to spreading something meaningful—both through our partnerships in coffee-growing regions, importers with the same values, and right here at home in Mount Vernon, Mansfield, and the surrounding Columbus areas.
This is what specialty coffee means to us: it's not just about the perfect extraction or the ideal roast level (though we absolutely care about those things). It's about knowing that your morning ritual matters. That supporting a local, faith-driven roaster in Central Ohio connects you to something bigger.

Whether you stop by one of our café locations in Mount Vernon or Mansfield, or you order our specialty beans online, we're here to serve you with the same quality and care. We're building this community one cup at a time.
