Bird and Bear Coffee: West Coast Roaster Spanning Light Roasts to Dark Blends
Bird and Bear Coffee is a West Coast roaster that covers the full flavor map, from delicate light-roast single origins to bold, comforting dark blends. Their CoffeeByMe catalog spans seven single-origin coffees and six blends, making them a strong choice for households where coffee preferences vary or for drinkers who want the flexibility to explore different roast levels from one roaster.
The single-origin lineup is deliberately diverse in origin, processing, and roast. The Colombia Las Nubes Wush Wush is a highlight: a naturally processed, light-roasted varietal with floral, blackberry, and hibiscus character from high-altitude cultivation. On the other end of the spectrum, the Sumatra Ketiara arrives via wet-hulled processing and a medium-dark roast, delivering the earthy, pungent, spicy profile that classic Indonesian fans crave. In between sit crowd-pleasers like the Colombia Los Cedros Honey, a smooth medium-roast with milk chocolate and caramel, and the Colombia Farouth Ceballos, a light roast from Monserrate, Huila, that adds a bright pop of cherry to its chocolate-cream base.
The blend range is equally broad: Peek-a-Boo Espresso Blend channels Northern Italian espresso tradition with a creamy mouthfeel and subtle berry notes, while Night Owl Dark Roast goes full-throttle with dark chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and charred oak—a coffee designed to hold up in the mug with milk and sugar. CoffeeByMe's AI recommendation tool can help you navigate the full spectrum and land on the right Bird and Bear coffee for your brewing method and flavor preference.

Roast Profile & Flavor Range
Bird and Bear's roast profile spans the full range from light (level 1) to extra dark (level 5), with no single roast level dominating the catalog.

Milk chocolate is a recurring flavor thread across both singles and blends. Nearly all products are priced at a consistent $20 per bag—with the Colombia Los Cedros Honey at $23—making Bird and Bear one of the most uniformly priced roasters in the CoffeeByMe catalog.
