Coastal Coffee Company is a family-run roastery and cafe in a converted historic church on Kintail Line near Goderich, Ontario, owned by Ben and Bri Gingerich. It roasts single-origin coffees and blends in small batches and sells them at its roastery cafe, at a 24/7 bean stand and online with shipping across Canada.
Coastal Coffee is Ben and Bri Gingerich's family business on Ontario's West Coast. Ben grew up on an organic farm in Huron County and found his taste for great coffee while studying at the University of Victoria, where he met Bri, who was raised on Vancouver Island. They moved back east to raise their family along Lake Huron and started roasting at home. Friends kept ordering, so they imported a drum roaster from Turkey, set it up in an outbuilding and started selling coffee out of the back of their Volkswagen Westfalia at local farmers markets. That Westy is still in the logo. They opened a roastery in Zurich in 2014, and in 2019 bought a historic church on Kintail Line near Goderich, renovating it with hemp insulation and natural lime and clay plasters. Today it houses the roastery, a cafe and a 24/7 bean stand, and Ben and Bri buy through direct partnerships with farmers like Chalo, a fifth-generation grower in Huila, Colombia.
