La Barba Coffee

La Barba Coffee was founded in 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a focus on roasting specialty coffee and sharing it with the local community. What began as a neighborhood effort has grown into a roasting operation that ships coffee to customers and businesses throughout the United States. The company operates cafes in Salt Lake City and Draper, Utah. La Barba emphasizes direct and transparent sourcing, working with farmers, producers, exporters, and importers to trace coffee as closely as possible from farm to roaster. The roaster prioritizes seasonal sourcing to ensure freshness, and balances a pursuit of high-quality, sometimes rare and exotic coffees with a commitment to keeping specialty coffee approachable and affordable. Long-term relationships with producers and importers are central to their sourcing philosophy, with an expressed aim to support fair compensation and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.
