About Us

About Us

At Crested Coffee Roasters, our story began in college — during long nights of studying and early morning swim practices. Coffee wasn’t just a beverage; it was a ritual, a comfort, and a quiet motivator. For founders Peter and Darrelle Haddad, what started as a way to power through busy student life soon grew into a lasting passion.

After college, their love for coffee only deepened. What began with experimenting on different home machines turned into a curiosity about every step of the process — from visiting coffee shops and asking, “How do the beans come out like this?” to finally roasting their own. That curiosity evolved into Crested Coffee Roasters.

What We Believe

Our passion is built on education and exploration. We’ve studied every part of the coffee journey — from the growth of the cherry to the final roast — and tested nearly every brew method: espresso, AeroPress, French press, pour-over. We believe that the best coffee begins with understanding, and that great flavor is something anyone can unlock at home.

Our Mission

Crested Coffee Roasters is a welcoming, premium roastery with a focus on consistency, education, and community in every bag.

We’re here to help:

  • Everyday coffee drinkers refine their cup from good to exceptional.
  • Newcomers discover how truly delicious coffee can be with the right tools and beans.

Our Invitation

Coffee is more than a habit — it's a small, intentional moment in your day. We invite you to pause, taste, and take in the richness in your cup.

Because great coffee doesn’t just wake you up — it elevates your every day.
