Spearfish Coffee Roasters is a South Dakota-based specialty coffee company founded by a pastor and a tile maker who sought to challenge industry trends. The brand focuses on providing fresh, organic, and fair-trade coffee roasted weekly in the Black Hills. They distinguish themselves in the market by rejecting "shrinkflation," offering all their products in full 16-ounce bags rather than the industry-standard 12-ounce size. Their business model emphasizes transparency, quality, and a commitment to ethical sourcing through partnerships with international cooperatives.

Ownership
The company is independent and was founded by two partners, Tristan and Armen, who started the business in 2023 after bonding over their shared passion for coffee.

Coffees researched from Spearfish Coffee 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.

Website

I was able to verify several physical retail locations in South Dakota through the brand's official store locator, as well as their direct-to-consumer online shop; however, no third-party online marketplaces were identified.

These references come from public store locators, retailer listings and brand materials. Last checked Nov 1, 2026. They are research links, not proof of current stock or a buying recommendation. Verify availability, price and location directly with the source.
