Our Story
Stagecoach Coffee Roastery and Espresso Bar was founded by Rod and Robin Torrence in the fall of 1993, in the historic village of Cooperstown, New York. Since then, our mission has stayed the same: using our Diedrich 12K infrared coffee roaster, we expertly roast only top-quality Arabica coffee beans in small batches. As a result, only the freshest coffees possible are served under the Stagecoach Coffee name.
What began as a small roastery has since grown into a business run by the next generation of the family. Today, Chris and Matt Grady carry that work forward as co-owners, roasting every batch by hand and tasting each one before it’s ever sold. Because the roaster only handles small batches at a time, they’re able to watch each roast closely and adjust for the beans in front of them, rather than running everything the same way.
A Historic Home in Cooperstown
Our café is located at 31 Pioneer Street, in a building originally built in 1791 as the Blue Anchor Tavern. Cooperstown is one of the most visited villages in the United States, thanks to attractions like the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Hyde Hall, the Fenimore Art Museum, and the Farmers’ Museum. In addition, the village is known for its beautiful rolling hills and wonderful views of Lake Otsego. For many locals and visitors alike, Stagecoach Coffee has become a hub of everyday life in this quaint upstate New York village.
