This season's roast list
Three coffees we'll stand behind, always.
The lineup rotates with the harvest, but we always keep a light, medium, and dark roast on the bar. Every bag has a roast date — never an "enjoy by."

Our story
We roast it. We pour it. We answer for it.
Northshore started in 2014 as a 1-kg sample roaster in a Park Point garage. Twelve years later we're still the only people who touch the coffee — from the cupping table to the bar in front of you.
Two roasters, fourteen baristas, twelve farms we visit by name. That's the whole supply chain, written in plain English.

Why Northshore
Coffee shops are easy. Coffee that earns a regular is not.
01
Roasted within the week.
Every bag is dated. We don't sell coffee older than 14 days off-roast — we donate it to the food shelf first.
02
We've met the farmer.
Both roasters have visited every origin on the menu. Sourcing trips, not just spec sheets.
03
Slow bar, fast bar.
Espresso in 90 seconds. A hand pour takes four minutes — we'll show you what we're doing while you wait.
04
Free refills on drip.
Sit, work, read. The wifi is fast and your second cup is on the house.
From the bar
1,200+ five-star reviews. Here's a few.
4.9 average on Google
The Konga pour-over is the most floral cup I've had north of Minneapolis. Worth the trip even if you're just passing through Canal Park.

I drive 30 miles for this espresso. The Ironside as a cortado is the actual best drink in the city, no contest.

They've been our roaster since we opened. Three years, zero late deliveries, and the espresso bar trains my staff for free.
