Andytown Coffee Roasters

What Andytown Coffee Roasters does

Andytown Coffee Roasters is a privately held specialty coffee company founded in 2014 in San Francisco's Outer Sunset neighborhood by Lauren Crabbe and Michael McCrory. It operates nine retail café locations across San Francisco, including a new downtown flagship at 66 Kearny Street opening in late April 2026, and centralizes production at a roastery and training lab at 3016 Taraval Street. The company is a certified California Green Business and runs a distinctive bakery program rooted in McCrory's Northern Ireland heritage, featuring items such as soda farls, wheaten bread, and scones baked fresh daily at the original Lawton Street bakery and distributed to all locations.

The core product portfolio centers on small-batch roasted specialty coffee in two categories: signature blends (Wind & Sea, Short Strand, Shore Leave Hook, Cold Brew) priced at $12.50–$15.25 per 8oz bag, and rotating single-origin coffees (Ethiopia Mustefa Abakeno in washed and natural, Thailand Chaiprakarn, Decaf Mexico Esmeralda) priced at $15.75–$17.50. Supporting products include the Wind & Sea Steeped Pack (single-serve nitro-sealed filter packs via partnership with Steeped), brewing supplies (AeroPress, Hario V60, Chemex), and a branded merchandise line of apparel and drinkware featuring original artwork by local artist Orlie Kapitulnik, with drinkware manufactured by partner Miir.

The business operates a hybrid DTC model: in-store café retail, an e-commerce storefront on Shopify (free shipping over $50), a Square-powered Order Ahead pickup system, a monthly Single Origin subscription, a B2B wholesale coffee program, and mobile event catering. In February 2026, Andytown implemented a 7.5% price increase across all nine locations, citing green coffee price inflation, tariff effects on supplies, and a 20% rise in employee health insurance premiums. The company is bootstrapped (no disclosed funding rounds), structured as Andytown LLC in California, and has no parent company or institutional investors disclosed.
