Our Story

We opened The Cozy Corner because we love drinking and sharing great coffee. In partnership with incredible producers and importers, we purchase exceptional green coffee and roast it for you, our customers and wholesale partners. We believe that sincere hospitality and unpretentious service is just as important as great tasting coffee–maybe even more important.

Our Coffee

Coffee beans

The Cozy Corner sources the top 1% of beans to bring you simply the best coffee the world has to offer. Quality ingredients. Sustainably sourced. Roasted and hand-packed in Minneapolis. Any fresher, and they’d still be roasting.

We partnered with a hometown favorite, Chef Jenny Doe, to bring the story of The Cozy Corner to life, from seed to cup and beyond. We roast Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and there are large viewing windows to see the action.
