Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters

What Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters does

Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters is a Dallas-based specialty coffee roastery founded in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, operating under the broader CliffMade umbrella of artisan food brands. The company sources green coffee directly from farms (Ethiopia, Guatemala, Peru, Honduras, Kenya) via its Farm Source program, roasts in small batches, seals coffee in one-way valve bags stamped with roast date, and ships same day to maximize freshness. Core products include signature blends (Rosemont Crest, Victor Prosper's Dark Roast, Hidden City Espresso, Davis Street Espresso, Sunset Blend, O.C. Decaf), rotating single-origin coffees, bean-to-bar Five Mile Chocolate, 2lb bulk coffee bags, and a curated range of brewing equipment and branded merchandise.

The business runs a multi-channel go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront with nationwide shipping, a subscription program offering weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly deliveries and personalized flavor profiles via a taste preference quiz, a wholesale program supplying DFW coffeehouses, and two company-owned cafes (Davis Street Espresso in Dallas, Race Street Coffee in Fort Worth) that double as retail showrooms. The CliffMade ecosystem extends the offering to Candor Bread (naturally-leavened sourdough), East Kiest Farms (urban farming for eggs, honey, fruit), and a workshops education vertical, with products ranging from $2 (stickers) to $250 (Baratza Virtuoso Plus grinder). Stripe is the disclosed payment processor; no public API, SDK, or AI features are offered.

Customer segments span coffee enthusiasts seeking personalized subscriptions, DFW wholesale accounts, and walk-in cafe traffic. The company is privately held with 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no public listing. Operations remain concentrated in the DFW metroplex with nationwide e-commerce shipping and local hand-delivery to Oak Cliff neighbors.
