Black Bayou Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster based in the Shreveport-Bossier City area of Louisiana, founded by industry veteran Jeremy Bohnenkamp. The company distinguishes itself through the use of air-roasting technology, which is designed to produce a smooth, non-bitter cup profile by ensuring consistent heat distribution. Originally launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, the business has scaled its operations from a garage-based startup to a professional roasting facility capable of processing hundreds of pounds of coffee weekly. They maintain a direct-to-consumer model through their website and offer wholesale partnerships, focusing on a diverse catalog that spans from classic, approachable blends to distinct single-origin offerings.

Coffees researched from Black Bayou Coffee

These are examples recorded during editorial research. They are not a live product feed. The coffee, lot, price, and availability may have changed. We have not necessarily brewed these coffees ourselves.

External customer, cafe, marketplace, and class ratings are not comparable measures of the quality of an individual coffee. We do not convert them into original tasting scores or brand-wide star ratings. Our independent reviews are published separately after a coffee has actually been brewed and evaluated.
