Hempton Roast Coffee
5215 Engle Rd, Fort Wayne, IN
Crema's Take
“This intimate roastery is a haven for coffee enthusiasts who crave genuine expertise and direct-trade relationships, particularly their exceptional Kenyan beans sourced directly from family farms near Nairobi. Owner Jeff brings scholarly passion to every cup, sharing the rich backstory behind each origin and crafting both traditional espresso drinks and meticulous pour-overs that feel more like a conversation than a transaction. Walking in feels like visiting a knowledgeable friend's living room, where the coffee is exceptional, the vibes are warm, and you'll likely leave with bags of beans and plans to return.”

A qaint little coffee house with nice vibes and delicious coffee. My favorite spot to purchase coffee.
The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was quick to share the backstory of each roast and give suggestions. We loved the coffee! Bought two bags. :) We will definitely come back!
After traveling the world and trying coffee every step of the way, this was hands down the most unique and delicious spot yet!!! Jeff was incredibly hospitable and appeared to have doctorate level knowledge of coffee. Great all around experience and phenomenal coffee of all different roasts. Highly recommend to anyone whether they are coffee drinkers or not. Its definitely worth the drive.
Jeff knows his coffee. He has stories behind every origin of all his beans. His shop is like walking into a home. Very clean with all the fresh coffee you can drink. I walked out with 4 pounds of whole beans and a neat story about each of them. I will be back when I need a refill!
My new favorite coffee roaster 😃. He specializes in Kenyan beans, imported directly to Fort Wayne by sons of the family that owns the coffee farm outside of Nairobi. The Black and Tan is my new favorite coffee.
