"Update - Zero response from the company when I shared roast date and photos. That’s quality customer service right there… Inconsistent at best. First order of the First Roast was fantastic. Zero bitterness as I was recommended. I bought the 4lb bag to avoid shipping and it showed up looking like it just took a bath in olive oil. Light to Medium roasts should never look that oily, and neither did my first batch. Unless it's old or burnt - which is what it tastes like. When I reached out to the company. All they could tell me was what ratio of beans to coffee to use. I weigh out my coffee and water daily. I know what I'm doing. Disappointing."

"*update Eric from Joshua Tree Coffee did reach out to me and offer a partial refund as well as sending me a bag of coffee he thought would be more to my tastes. He says their roasts are considered more traditional and darker than the current trends. To me this doesn't explain the inconsistency of the roast itself, this needs work, but I respect the reason behind it. I had recently ordered two bags of the Mellow Ethiopian. I was excited to try it especially since its a light roast. Upon receiving it looking at the beans it was clear that the beans were inconsistent in their roast and far darker than a light roast. The beans were also oily which should never be the case for a light roast since light roasts aren't roasted enough to bring the oils to the surface. The beans were extremely inconsistent in colour. And I tried both eating one of the lighter beans and one of the darker which proved their entirely inconsistent in taste too. The only plus I will give is that it is freshly roasted and you can tell, but the roast is not at all as described. I reached out to the company and they haven't responded. I bought 8lbs to avoid the shipping cost, I at minimum expected I would receive a light roast like advertised. If you look at your reviews can you issue a refund to order #174023"

"Fabulous coffee! For most of time, you need to line up. We bought several bags of coffee beans to friends as gifts. The coffee I made with these beans tastes really good."

"I bought a ”Mellow Ethiopian” light roast, dated 18th of Nov 2025, from the roaster. The roast can be seen in the picture on the right, next to a medium / medium-light roast from another company. The roast is ”dark” as one can see. The beans have started to surface the oil and are quite crusty. Maybe a problem with the batch being roasted while not even close to a light roast as advertized."

"Had the pleasure of coming here with the recommendation of my lovely boyfriend. Always up for an adventure especially when it comes to trying new coffee spots, we had two cold brew lattes with oat and simple syrups. They have this delicious chocolate chip vegan cookie and you wouldn’t know the difference if it wasn’t on the label. Great place to stop by around 8am before the crowds pick up. Not many parking spots available unless you go around the establishment. Service was attentive, definitely need a minute to check the menu beforehand."
