I see house blend, not house roast. But still a step in the right direction! Looking forward to checking it out

Borealis is great, so I have high hopes 👌🏼

Haha yeah sorry, mistyped at first. I'll admit I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to coffee! But yes hopefully a good sign that the house blend is roasted by a local company :)

Oh huh, didn't realize they're the coffee shop that's right on the East Bay bike path. Maybe I'll pop over there before work sometime and bike some beans home. Thanks for the rec!
