I'm from San Francisco. I was visiting my family in Long Island and wanted to buy some local whole bean coffee. At home my wife and I like to try different roasters and when we're on vacation we try to buy beans from a local roaster. So far that's 10 states we've sampled. East Coast Roast is right at the top. Richard knows his stuff. It's a real passion for him and it shows. The coffee is phenomenal and East Coast Roast is a must stop destination now when I visit. read more

I'd like to refer to myself as a coffee connoisseur ;) In our house, coffee brewing is a cultural & social way of life...from Italy to Spain and places in between, I've sampled many a macchiato! East Coast Roast has been on my radar for a while now and I finally had the pleasure of indulging in my first cup of their Costa Rica-Tarrazu! This description is profile precise: Medium roasted with a fruity aroma...notes of tart lemon, milk chocolate & honey still residing on my pleased palate. Looking forward to expanding my coffee collection with orders from East Coast Roast read more

I've been searching for good coffee beans in long island for a while now. At first i went to starbucks reserve roastery where the beens were literally 42$ for a half pound!!!!! At east coast roast , richard (the owner) greated me very pleasantly and even had the time and patience to explain the different coffee beans and how they are roasted etc. .Not only that , the beans only costed me 14$ for half a pound, and they were infinitely better than the starbucks reserve beans. I really wish that this place was more well known , so more people can get to taste some true, high quality coffee. read more

Just superb selection and quality of coffees! The owner Rich is a delight, and very knowledgeable. Cold brew is delish too!

I won't buy my coffee from anywhere else, and neither should you! In order to get the best coffee, it's got to be roasted correctly and fresh. I've tried coffee from many different local roasters, from all over NYC and Long Island, and the coffee from East Coast Roast is BY FAR the best. I prefer the Frank Sumatra with the Papua Don't Preach as a close second. Do yourself a favor and get a sampler pack (or two) and try a bunch of them to find your favorite. I know you will become a fan. read more

Was tired of all the stale blended store bought beans sitting on a shelf that were roasted who knows when, as well as the over rated coffee at Starbucks which is blended half the time and just the lack of availability of a quality roast which created my desire to search for something better. That search ended when I found East Coast Roast. It's location is somewhat deceiving, in fact I almost left thinking I had the wrong place. That's when I meet Richard. Upon my arrival I asked if he sold to the public from this location or was there a retail location I missed. He said I was in the right spot, after parking Richard greeted me at the bay door entrance of his location (the area is surrounded by somewhat small warehouse's that are trucking products in & out daily and in the middle of this sits an unassuming Richard and East Coast Roast). Richard invited me in and took pride in showing me around, from the Jopler small batch Roaster he uses that comes from Portugal to the single source origin of the beans he uses to the finished product of the roasted beans and invited me to smell each one and enjoy the aroma and quality of each. Wherever your journey started to find a quality Roast, it ends at East Coast. read more

Fantastic coffee beans and even better customer service. One of the most important factors to a quality cup of coffee is the freshness of the bean. If you're in the area, you absolutely need to be getting your beans from here. They are roasted to perfection and you'll be getting a batch that is fresh. If you're getting your beans from a supermarket shelf (or worse, Amazon) you have no idea how long they've been sitting there. You can order your beans whole or ground, and you can even choose how finely you want them ground (aka, if you use a french press, order them course). I prefer to grind my own, but it's a nice feature they offer. East Coast is my go-to for my daily brewing and I consider myself very fortunate to be living so close to a quality roaster. I toyed with the idea of roasting my own beans, but it's not worth the efforts considering how affordable East Coast is. Why mess with perfection? Rich, the owner, is just an all around great person and personally helped me as we came up with a gameplan to use his beans as a party favor for my wedding reception. I had personalized mini burlap sacks that he examined and figured out how to properly package the beans in. I was sad to give away the fabulous beans (I wanted to horde them for myself) but it was great working with him. His wife also works at the store, and is equally fabulous. A great product from a local family run store is all you could ever ask for. I love this coffee. I'm drinking it now as I write the review. I shudder when I see people wasting 4 bucks on a mediocre Starbucks cup. East Coast is the only way to fly! read more

As a self proclaimed "coffee aficionado", I have been looking for a local roaster as an alternative to a coffee of the month subscription service I've been using for a long time. I'm so glad I stumbled upon East Coast Roast on a day off around the neighborhood. This place is a coffee lovers dream! Thank you Rich for the amazing tour of your facility, and showing me all the amazing coffee you procure from all over the world. Just the experience of going to the warehouse was worthy of 5 stars, but then I tasted the freshly roasted "Kenya Dig It" coffee, and I can honestly say it was the best cup of coffee I've ever had in my life!! I'm so thankful that I have such an incredible roaster so close to home, this is the only place I will get my coffee. East Coast Roast is a true gem!!! read more

See all

This is seriously the best coffee I've ever had. Roasted with true passion by a roaster who is knowledgeable and passionate about every bean. I'm telling you - try this coffee, and you won't ever buy other beans. My FAVORITE is Frank Sumatra! read more

Owner is passionate and expert about his coffee. I smelled the coffee from a block away! Bought a few pounds and enjoyed them. Will definitely return read more

Richard roasts fantastic coffee! If you want fresh coffee that is perfectly roasted and will settle for nothing less, than this is the coffee for you. I found this local gem through happenstance, and so happy I did. For years I have been getting my coffee through the mail from various gourmet roasters (Brooklyn Coffee, Boxcar, etc.). East Coast Roast is as good if not BETTER than the "fancy" premium coffee roasters. Do yourself a favor and only get your coffee from East Coast Roast!!! My favorites are: Frank Sumatra NY NY and Brazilian BFF. read more

Am I glad I found this place. Richard knows his stuff and is passionate about the quality of his coffee. I've now tried 3 different kinds of his coffee and all were fresh, perfectly roasted, and high quality. Nothing better than freshly roasted and ground coffee to start your day. read more

I met with Rich who is passionate about his coffee and is quite the coffee historian. If you live in the area and you love coffee and you are not buying your coffee from a roaster and getting it fresh (does your store bought coffee show the origin and roasting date?), then you are missing out on a great cup of coffee. Rich knows his beans and buys the best from all over the world. He will definitely have something to meet your tastes, beans or ground, and he even has Swiss Water processed decaf that tastes just as good as all the other coffee he roasts if you are a decaf drinker. His espresso is unique. I'll be buying my freshly roasted coffee here from now on. Keep it coming Rich and thanks for the tour/class! read more

Local Coffee Gem. Owner knowledgeable and super friendly. Went in and gave me a full tour!

East Coast Roast has my favorite locally and freshly roasted coffee in NY. They roast every week, and the Frank Sumatra is my favorite... You can pick up at the warehouse or they can ship.. They also sell at local farmers markets on Long Island. read more

Visited Friday with friends Joe and Lisa. Received an in depth coffee education by the owner Richie. There's a lot more to coffee then we believe. I got a little tired of the same old "Grind" of coffee, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks everyday. Dinner coffee is awful. Wake up New York, this coffee at East Coast Roast will open your eyes to real brewed coffee right here in Island Park. I took home three 1/2 pounds as a tasting, all brewed Thursday, yes the day before my visit. I'm done with Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. Come taste what you've been missing. read more

Fantastic dark roast. Sleek packaging. The smell alone will get you hooked. 10/10 and I'm a coffee snob

Fantastic Coffee Beans from all over the world! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Brought my daughters there and the whole process was explained to them from nuts to bolts. Just a great overall experience. If you are a Coffee Lover this is the place to buy your beans from whether you are a business or an individual. Just phenomenal!!!!! read more
