Stop by the HOPE Roasters Cafe on campus on Saturdays in season, and find us this winter at the Hutton Christmas Tree Farm and Holiday Market. See all cafe dates.
HOPE Coffee Roasters is a professional, student-led coffee roasting program at Hutton Settlement.
Youth learn real-world job skills through every stage of the coffee business. Beans come through the Café Femenino cooperatives, and students study the countries and farmers behind each origin. Every bag is roasted in small batches right on campus. Each winter the team focuses on training: hands-on roasting, barista skills, and a deeper look at the coffee industry, from the farms where the beans are grown to the journey they take to your cup.
From green bean to the cup you buy at the cafe, students have a hand in each step.
