"I paid for a monthly subscription for many years until they started sending me the same coffee over and over. I reached out almost two months ago to see if I could just get what I was paying for (a rotating subscription) and they never responded. Reached out again to tell them that I'd be canceling my subscription if I didn't get a word back from them.... They didn't, so I did. It made me really sad and disappointed as I really prefer to support local businesses, but why should they get any penny of my money when their customer service is non-existent."

"In town with Ragbrai and craving some good coffee, the lovely people at Ross St Roasting had samples of one of their amazing roasts to taste. Additionally I was able have a lovely conversation while i got my caffeine fix. Look these guys up, they ship!"

"The beans are outstanding - interesting varieties and origins, expertly roasted to bring out their best characteristics, fresh/shipped right after roasting (the "Brix Breaker" may be the best cup I've ever brewed - and the novelty factor of the almost comically large Pacamara beans is pretty great, too). On top of that, there is also a nicely curated selection of coffee gear - all good, useful, reasonably-priced stuff (the Baratza Encore I bought from RSR was less expensive than it would have been at Amazon, and I got it faster too!). Finally, the website is an entertaining read, with some really good info (hopefully Brian keeps updating the blog). It's a pleasant surprise to find a specialty coffee roaster of this caliber out here in small-town Iowa!"

"What a treat to find in Tama! Brian and his family are a delight. We chatted for a while and enjoyed the coffee! Brought home 2 bags and some espresso to CO and will return when we are visiting family in the area. If you love coffee, find his products. You will not be disappointed!"

"Ross Street Roasting is a quaint, very personable quality coffee roastery.. Brian always has time to give you updates on the latest of what his business is doing.. He also gives hands on demonstrations so you can try new techniques at your own home or business..."
