About
Austin Roasting Company is a family-owned operation roasting small-batch coffee for the Austin area out of a facility along SH-71 in Bastrop, east of the city. The company's focus is direct: premium coffee, ethically sourced, roasted fresh, and shipped fast. Orders are packed and sent within 24 hours of roasting, which means what arrives at your door reflects the roast — not a warehouse shelf.
Their catalog covers the range a serious home brewer wants: single-origin coffees from farms in Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador, and Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region, alongside organic and Fair Trade certified options and house Signature Blends built for consistency. Wholesale support is available for local businesses, and subscription delivery runs on weekly or multi-week cycles for those who want fresh coffee on a reliable schedule. The operation is lean and online-first — built less around a café experience than around the coffee itself.

Coffee & Beans Review
Austin Roasting Company runs a tightly sourced program with an emphasis on organic farming and Fair Trade certification. Their single-origin lineup pulls from well-regarded growing regions — Guatemala's Finca San Lorenzo, Colombia's Nariño, El Salvador's Finca El Carmen, and a natural-process Ethiopia Yirgacheffe from the Konga area — each offered at prices consistent with quality small-batch sourcing.
The catalog is organized into clear lanes: single-origin, organic and Fair Trade, espresso, dark roast, decaf, and Signature Blends. The blends are the subscription tier, available on rotating weekly delivery; single-origin and Fair Trade options are sold retail but not offered on subscription due to availability variation. Roast-level details are not prominently featured on the site, so buyers inclined toward light or medium profiles should check individual product pages before ordering.
For online bean buyers, Austin Roasting Company is a strong option for fresh-roasted coffee shipped quickly. The 24-hour pack-to-ship window is a genuine differentiator, and the organic and Fair Trade sourcing language is consistent across the product line.
