Graffeo Coffee Roasting Co.

Graffeo Coffee Roasting Co. has roasted on Columbus Ave in North Beach since 1935. It's small-batch and family-run, and they sell whole beans, with no espresso bar. Luciano or whoever's at the counter will scoop, weigh and bag your coffee while you wait. They also have locations in Beverly Hills, San Rafael and Singapore, and supply restaurants.

The dark roast is the classic, usually by the half pound. There's a light roast and a half-and-half blend. They ship, so be sure to specify your grind when you order.
