A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters is a long-standing, independent Omaha-based roastery that has been serving the local community since 1993. Under the ownership of Dave and Martha Barbour since 2005, the company operates as a craft-focused alternative to large commercial chains, emphasizing a non-pretentious approach to specialty coffee. They maintain a robust presence in the Midwest through their own retail locations, known as ROAST cafes, and an extensive wholesale program that supplies numerous local cafes, restaurants, and offices. The brand is dedicated to providing freshly roasted, high-quality coffee, including award-winning cold brew and espresso, while fostering a culture of coffee education for their customers.

Website

I was able to verify the brand's primary retail location, its associated 'ROAST' cafes in Omaha, and its direct-to-consumer online store; no third-party retail partners were identified.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Oct 21, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.
Sources used in this deep dive
Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-01. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. I could not verify specific sourcing countries, farm-level partnerships, or formal philanthropic programs, as the brand's website focuses primarily on retail operations, wholesale services, and general coffee education.
