Welcome to Vintage Coffee Works — home of “flame-kissed coffee.”
Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Vintage Coffee Works opened its doors in 2009 with a simple but passionate idea: to bring back the art and soul of roasting coffee—one batch at a time. What started with just one classic Victorian‐era roasting machine has grown into a vibrant craft roastery, beloved by local coffee lovers and aficionados beyond.
We believe there’s something remarkable in the way that the old meets the new. Our equipment harks back to a time when roasting was as much about the rhythm and heat as it was about science. We roast small batches over direct flame, bringing beans to life in a way that allows their character, body, and aroma to fully shine. That flame gives beans a subtle depth and dimension — it’s what makes our coffee truly flame-kissed.
What Sets Us Apart
• Small-Batch Roasting – We roast in smaller amounts so we can watch every roast closely. Each roast is tended to with care.
• Victorian-Era Roasters – We use historic roasting machines, vestiges of a bygone era, preserved for their craftsmanship, character, and the way they impart a unique roast profile.
• Flame-Kissed Flavor – Our roasting process involves real flame—literally giving the green beans a kiss of fire that teases out deeper sweetness, smokier notes, and that signature smooth finish.
• Ethically Sourced, 100% Arabica – We believe great coffee begins at the source. From growers who care deeply about quality and sustainability, we select only premium Arabica beans.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to craft coffee that connects — connecting us to tradition, to the hands that grow the beans, and to moments of daily ritual. Whether it’s first thing in the morning, sharing with friends, or in a quiet evening ritual, we want Vintage Coffee Works to be a part of many of those moments.
Why “Vintage”
“Vintage” reflects more than just our equipment. It’s a mindset. We believe there is value—and flavor—in slowing down, honoring tradition, and doing things right. While many modern roasters push for speed, scale, and flash, we stay rooted in craftsmanship. We take our time. We know each roast matters. Because to us, great coffee isn’t just about caffeine—it’s about flavor, aroma, the texture on the tongue, the memories invoked.
