Fable Roasters is a specialty coffee roastery based in Saint Cloud, Minnesota, that originated as the roasting division of Kinder Coffee Lab. Established in 2020 during the pandemic, the brand evolved from a small-scale backroom operation into a dedicated 1,800-square-foot production facility. The company focuses on small-batch roasting, utilizing a 6-kilo Mill City Roasters machine to produce consistent and expressive coffee profiles. By separating its roasting operations from the Kinder Coffee Lab retail cafes, Fable Roasters has positioned itself as a standalone entity dedicated to wholesale distribution and direct-to-consumer services while maintaining a strong connection to the Central Minnesota community.

Ownership
Fable Roasters is an independent company co-owned by Guytano Magno, Taylor Feero, and Ryan Schoepf. It was established as a standalone entity after spinning off from the roasting division of Kinder Coffee Lab, which is owned by the same group.

Documented coffee offerings

Coffees researched from Fable Roasters

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.

I was able to verify the brand's own online store and their partnership with the regional grocery chain Coborn's; while the brand supplies various cafes and restaurants in central Minnesota, specific retail locations for those partners were not explicitly listed.

Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-02. 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 partners, or formal philanthropy programs, as the brand's current digital presence focuses on its operational history and local identity rather than detailed supply chain or charitable disclosures.
