What Single Speed Coffee Roasters is known for
Single origins like the Nicaragua La Virgen Estate and a barrel-aged whiskey bean, roasted at the Flagstaff cafe. Best of Flag has named it the town's top roastery three years running, including 2023 as listed by the Flagstaff Chamber.
Single Speed Coffee Roasters runs its roastery and cafe from 1000 East Butler Avenue in Flagstaff, where it's been voted Best of Flag in 2023, 2024 and 2025 — the site describes itself as 'Best Roastery & Best Coffee House 3 years in a row.' The family-owned business roasts a wide single-origin list, including a Nicaragua La Virgen Estate and an Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, alongside barrel-aged Whiskey Beans made from Nicaraguan coffee finished in whiskey barrels. Its blends carry the same locally flavored naming as the shop itself: Work Ethic, Wake Up and Kiss Me, and Danger Monkey sit alongside a more conventional Flagship Espresso Blend and a Decaf Colombia. Beans are sold both across the counter in Flagstaff and shipped nationwide, with free shipping past $100, and the company also supplies wholesale accounts. Open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., the shop pairs its roasting operation directly with the cafe counter, rather than running roasting and retail as separate businesses — the same building handles both.
