Dark Roast
This perennial MetroFave is an award-winning blend that is simple and sweet with a stout body and just the right amount of edge.
The other day, we set out a tasting at our roasterie for a group of a dozen epicureans. We put out coffees from all over the world, light roasts, dark roasts, single origins, and blends. We had fruity floral coffees, dark and smoky coffees, simple profiles, complex blends, and everything in between. Not sure why we bothered. Turns out they like Spice Island, Just like everyone else. I mean, they liked the other stuff too, but if they had to pick one for an eternity on a desert island? Yep, it would be Spice. Served at many of the finest restaurants, hotels, and cafes around Chicago and elsewhere too.
We aim to create an approachable environment where everyone has a seat at the table and the bean benefits all.
With every brew, we pour our passion and expertise into designing a cup of coffee with your pleasure and tastes in mind.
Ethically sourced from farmers and vetted brokers, every cup helps ensure fair compensation, sustainable growing practices, and community well-being.
As coffee nerds, we have a quirky outlook sourced from the early days of science fiction, fantasy, and lore.
Second 5lb bag and all I can say is WOW…I can’t drink other coffee now
We haven't had the Spice Island coffee since 2018. It's still the best blend out there.
While we still love La Cordillera, switching to Spice Island coffee is a great change. Drinking the same coffee every morning kind of dulls the taste. After you try another good flavor, even the old one tastes better.
We love having the choice😊
I love Spice Island. Sometimes I think about branching out and trying a different one, but why mess with perfection? It's a smooth, rich dark roast, and it works great for both cold brew and pour-over.
The by Spice Island blend coffee beans are absolutely amazing. they are roasted and sent to you immediately and arrive so very very fresh. I would not buy coffee beans from any other company.
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
