Adventurer’s Coffee

Shelby County

A group of friends was working together at a boring corporate job drinking terrible coffee when the dream of Adventurer’s Coffee was born. Those friends were all an interesting mix of nerdy gamers who also enjoyed camping and adventuring. Questing after the perfect cup of coffee to start your day or roast over a campfire, the friends began roasting their own beans, a passion that led to the birth of this adventure-themed local coffee roaster. Adventurer’s Coffee’s unique roots are evident in creative names like Dungeons and Dark Roast, Base Camp, Faire Maiden, and Bean to the Future. Whether you’re nerdy at heart, outdoorsy, or just want an amazing cup of coffee!
