Sleeping Giant Coffee Roastery (NO DRINKS - ONLY BEANS)
26 Selden St Unit C, North Haven, CT
Crema's Take
“This is a beans-only roastery where Jesse and Lauren have earned a reputation for some of the best coffee in Connecticut, particularly their Colombian and Ethiopian single-origins that roasters across the country are jealous of. If you're serious about home brewing—whether you're a pour-over purist or espresso fanatic—the flavor precision here is worth the drive, and the small-batch roasting means you're getting beans at peak freshness. Skip this if you want coffee to drink on-site, but if you want to dial in exceptional coffee at home, this is the real deal.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot.

Nice shop, kind staff, good beans

Hands down best coffee roaster in CT. Interesting bean origins, fantastic flavors, and my favorite cold brew.
