Roaming Goat Coffee Company

What Roaming Goat Coffee Company does

Roaming Goat Coffee Company is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, operating under the legal entity NZT Enterprises LLC. The company sources high-quality Arabica coffees from multiple global origins and roasts them in small batches using a documented multi-stage roasting process spanning Green Stage through French Roast to control flavor development. Its product portfolio includes roasted single-origin and blended coffee beans (proprietary SKUs include Bistro Blend, House Blend, and Espresso Blend), unroasted green coffee for home roasters, Monin-branded flavoring syrups, and loose leaf tea, alongside a cause-marketing Butterfly Blend that donates a portion of proceeds to Nationwide Children's Hospital.

The business operates an omnichannel go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront with bulk discounts, a four-tier Coffee Club subscription (monthly to bi-weekly delivery), a physical coffee shop in Columbus's Short North arts district, and a B2B wholesale program (15-pound minimums, custom blends, and value-added services including store design, equipment sourcing, menu training, and custom roasting). Marketing is driven by organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), an email newsletter, and an affiliate program. Geographic reach is concentrated in Central Ohio with no disclosed international or national expansion. The company is privately held with no institutional funding, no disclosed revenue, and a micro headcount of 1-10 employees.
