Gray Squirrel Coffee Co. is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster, espresso bar, and bakery in Carrboro, NC. We like to keep things simple: roasting in small batches with care to bring out the best in the coffee, crafting exceptional drinks and house-made baked goods in our café, taking good care of our team, and focusing on developing great relationships with our customers and community partners.
We strive to introduce folks to the most interesting and delicious coffees in the world, sharing our expertise in an approachable way that gets our customers feeling as passionate about coffee as we are. Working with our supply chain partners, we are able to source the highest quality green coffee beans while also empowering farmers with fair pricing and long-term business relationships. We are meticulous about cupping and roasting in small batches so that we are able to give each green coffee a customized roast profile that draws out the best flavor and aroma for the bean. And since we believe that coffee shops are essential for providing a safe place for important conversation, we are proud to offer an inviting space for our awesome community to gather.
