Rockabilly Roasting Co

Rockabilly sits on the corner of Kennewick and Auburn in downtown Kennewick, connected to a Roxy Theatre antiques shop. You can browse antiques on the same trip you grab a coffee. The shop also serves beer and wine. One customer mentioned live bands, which expands the use case past mornings.

The room has an industrial-intimate feel with a downtown vibe. A large American flag is the main piece of interior decor. The inside seating area is small and one customer found it cramped on a busy afternoon. There's a well-kept outdoor patio for people who want more room, and the antique-shop side gives you a reason to wander while your drink gets pulled.

Cloud 9 is the in-house roast, and one Tri-Cities customer recommends running it through a pour over for the best result. The drip coffee, the dirty chai, the white coffee, the espresso, and the sugar-free lotus fill out the menu. The white coffee is the curiosity order for first-timers. The dirty chai gets pulled often on cold-weather afternoons.

The coffee-plus-antiques-plus-beer-and-wine combination is the kind of small-town move that wouldn't work in a larger market, where each function would split into its own storefront. In downtown Kennewick, it pulls in a wider crowd than a coffee shop alone would: people who came for the espresso, people who came to look at vintage furniture, people who came for a beer in the evening with a band playing.

The baked goods are a clear miss. Multiple customers call them stale, so skip them and stick with the drinks. Downtown Kennewick remote workers, antique browsers, and people looking for a single stop that lets them combine coffee, a beer, and a wander through old furniture will find Rockabilly does the combination credibly. Just go in knowing what to order and what to leave at the counter.
