Lofts Coffee Company & Roastery ( Dining / Coffee shop / Tea ). Located at 842 Gallia Street, Portsmouth, 1 mile from the center of South Portsmouth. For a coffee roaster, one of the most rewarding experiences is “going to origin,” or traveling abroad to purchase raw beans from farmers. Because the coffee plant flourishes near the equator in distant countries like Colombia, Kenya, and Indonesia, there is often a disconnect between farmers and U.S. coffee distributors. At Lofts Coffee Company, we seek to bridge this gap. We take pride in building sustainable, equitable, and long-term relationships with our farmers. It is our goal to develop an appreciation for the task of growing and processing exceptional beans to bring back to coffee lovers in Portsmouth, Ohio. To foster this relationship with farming partners, and to ensure we are bringing you the highest-quality product, we travel to origin regularly.
