Rhubarb Market Coffeehouse & Roasters began in 2018 when Tim Unruh started roasting coffee at home for a high school entrepreneurship project. The business grew from a small one-pound roaster into a professional operation that now roasts coffee in-house for its Hillsboro, Kansas location. The company is documented for its commitment to small-batch artisan roasting and its role as a community hub that serves scratch-made pastries and seasonal food. It is recognized for providing specialty coffee options in a region where whole-bean access was previously limited.
