With years of food service experience behind us, transitioning City Bean into a full-service wholesale roasting company was simple. We applied the same philosophies developed in our retail stores (i.e. freshness standards, brew technology, coffee quality, and complete customer satisfaction) with the needs of food service and hospitality professionals. We understand the needs of bakeries, cafes, diners, delis, and the many other casual dining concepts. City Bean will come in and, generally, make a marked improvement in your casual dining operation with award-winning coffee and a dedication towards improving your staff’s brewing and barista skills.
COFFEE QUALITY – Coffee is what we do, so we best do it well. Roasters since 1992, City Bean prides itself on delivering the highest quality coffee in the market. We have won numerous awards for our coffee roasting, but we have also delivered the type of product our clients get recognized for. Check out the following:

Delivering quality coffee to your customers goes far beyond receiving quality coffee beans from your roasting company. So much more goes into today’s standards for a great cup.
EQUIPMENT – Brewing espresso is all about extraction. If you get great extraction from quality beans, your brewed product will impress your customers. City Bean teams up with La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, Mazzer, and Mahlkonig to help you pull the elusive “perfect” shot.
SERVICE – City Bean’s coffee quality would mean very little if not backed up by a prompt and efficient service system. Our equipment support includes periodic calibrations and cleaning to keep your equipment in top condition. And should there be a malfunction, we have a 24/7 communication system to address your needs promptly. City Bean’s team of trained service professionals conducts its work with as little impact to your business as possible.
TRAINING – Coffee is different from other quality oriented beverages. The farmers can grow great coffee, City Bean can roast it to perfection, yet we are completely dependent on whomever is brewing the coffee to complete the process. That is why we have developed an extensive training program for your staff. We teach them basic coffee knowledge, basic brewing skills, basic barista skills, and basic equipment skills to complete the farmer-roaster-brewer cycle. Intermediate and advanced training is also available. Our trainer has worked with a former World Barista Championship winner and a runner-up. City Bean has a dedicated training and tasting room to groom your skills in the proper enviroment. And the training is a win-win: a confident staff equates to higher sales, and City Bean’s reputation is protected.
TEA PROGRAM - City Bean’s sister company, Solana Tea, will take care of all your loose-leaf and iced tea needs with the same care for quality and service as with coffee. Solana Tea Company offers full training for your staff. And our infusers set us apart from the competition with respect to quality and presentation.
