Family owned and operated. "Always at the Ready"

Our coffee journey began over ten years ago with the never ending pursuit to roast and brew the perfect cup of coffee. It literally started with Lance and his buddy roasting green beans in a popcorn popper purchased from a thrift store. It took the beans from green to brown alright, but did not make a great cup. This quickly morphed into converting a beautiful 6 burner propane BBQ into a fully operational drum roaster. There was almost zero science behind this method but soon enough we were roasting delicious coffee and selling clear ziplock bags of it to every friend and family we had. It was fun, we learned a ton, and the coffee was good enough to convince a local roaster to hire his buddy as their full-time head roaster! Many years later Lance and Laurie decided to move down to San Diego with dreams of starting their own coffee company. Finally, with help from Mark and Tori who had shared this dream, decided to go for it and Canteen Coffee Roasters was born! The pursuit for the perfect cup continues but this is as close as we have ever tasted and a growing number of customers agree :) " ~ Canteen

"House of Black Coffee Company, aka 'Hob Coffee', was started by a group of self-declared 'Coffeeheads' who share a passion for great tasting coffee. What is a Coffeehead? It is a new perspective on the culture and the individuals who enjoy high quality coffee. We're not snobs. We're not nerds. We are simply just people who have an avid interest in all things related to the craft. Our mission is to redefine stereotypes by bringing fresh vibes with fresh coffee, one cup at a time.

Our goal is to serve excellent small batch, craft coffee roasted locally here in San Diego, California. We want to share our passion for high quality coffee with our community in a unique, inviting experience. We typically carry 3-4 single origin coffee beans at any given time." ~ HOB

Coffee is a journey. Jaunt is your guide.
