Tugboat Joe Coffee Roasters
173 Shore Dr, Branford, CT
Crema's Take
“Tugboat Joe roasts to order and lets you dial in exactly how you want your beans—light, medium, or dark—which means you're getting genuinely fresh coffee tailored to your preference rather than whatever's been sitting on a shelf. The beans practically glisten with oils and the selection spans single-origins like their standout Costa Rican light roast, backed by service that actually knows what they're talking about. It's a local gem that takes specialty coffee seriously without the pretension, and the quality-to-price ratio keeps people coming back.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program.

Simply amazing nothing else to say. The Peru dark roast I got had the beans sticking to my hands from how much oil was coming off them! Very very fresh and good selection
The best fresh roasted coffee and the service is like no other! Can get it roasted to your liking and for medium roast is always just right . I always get an organic blend of coffee, but also love midwatch. Blueberry walnut sourdough is out of this world good!
Tugboat Joe is THE place for specialty coffee. Has a huge selection of beans and offers different roast levels so you can really fine-tune to your taste. Amazing customer service and excited to buy more!
