Cloud City Coffee Roasting

Cloud City Coffee Roasting, based in Seattle, Washington, operates as both a community-focused cafe and a coffee roasting business. Founded by Jill Killen, the company began with the establishment of Cloud City Coffee in 2002, which serves as a gathering space in the Maple Leaf neighborhood. The roasting operations, located in Georgetown, were initiated by Killen in 2019 following her certification as a Q Grader through the Coffee Quality Institute in 2017. The company emphasizes the importance of relationships throughout the coffee supply chain, from farms near the equator to the final cup. Their product offerings include a variety of house blends, such as the Cloud City Blend and El Diablo Blend, alongside a rotating selection of single-origin coffees. The business maintains a commitment to community hospitality and provides various services, including wholesale, catering, and subscription options for their roasted beans. By managing the roasting process internally, the company aims to deliver high-quality coffee that reflects the passion and expertise developed through years of industry study.
