What it's known for
Slow by Slow is widely recognized as a premier multi-roaster coffee bar that curates a rotating, high-end selection of beans from various roasters across the country. It is highly regarded for its precise pour-over service and its award-winning, architecturally unique cafe space.
Farm-level sourcing
As a multi-roaster cafe, Slow by Slow does not roast its own coffee and instead sources a rotating menu of beans from various specialty roasters. Because they feature different roasters on a weekly basis, they do not maintain a static list of sourcing countries or farm-level transparency on their own website, relying instead on the transparency provided by the individual roasters they feature.

Physical

I was able to verify that Slow by Slow operates as a multi-roaster coffee bar in Boise, Idaho, where they sell bags of coffee from various roasters for home use; however, I could not find evidence of an online store or third-party retail distribution for their own branded coffee products.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Oct 13, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.
