Our mission is to find, roast and serve the finest coffee possible. The quality of Rao’s coffee is the result of many years of innovative roasting, creative experimentation and constant sampling to create the right beans for the right brew. Rao’s Coffee continually evolves its methods to achieve coffees of high quality and rich, layered flavors. This approach takes considerably more time and work than merely sticking to one successful formula. The results speak for themselves, and we are proud that this approach has created a culture and following around our high-end coffees.

With over ten years of steady growth in the wholesale coffee market, Rao’s success has been fueled by the consistent and steadily increasing ‘word of mouth’ testimonies of our satisfied customers. Rao’s Coffee Roasting Company understands the critical importance of turning a one-time customer into a long- term client. That’s why it is our goal to provide people with something worth talking about with each and every order.

Rao’s Coffee Roasting Company specializes in “coffees of origin”, also known as varietals. These coffees come from high altitude, tropical regions of South America, Africa, Arabia, India and Indonesia. In addition to our wide array of drip coffees, Rao’s proficiently blends beans from around the world to create its best selling Espresso Viennese Blend.

The Rao’s café on Kellogg Street in Amherst brews an impressive verity of its own fresh and finely roasted coffee. Be sure to look for espresso and espresso based drinks, including Rao’s signature leaf, artistically created atop lattes. In addition to a full selection of coffee, tea, milk and juice based drinks, the café is home to three pastry cases, filled with muffins and scones, cookies, granola bars, gourmet pastries, and sandwiches. The ample seating, including the original café, its expanded dinning room and the largest amount of outdoor tables in the area all cater to a relaxing social experience. Rao’s proudly opened another store in the library of Mount Holyoke College, last year.

Rao’s Coffee Roasting Company is also a proud supplier of roasted coffee to a wide variety of upscale restaurants, café’s and hotels nationwide. Not only does Rao’s provide wholesale gourmet coffee, we are a full service coffee solution for many businesses. We distribute coffee brewing equipment and accessories, as well as provide in-house equipment setup, servicing, maintenance, and training to wholesale clients in both Boston and Western Massachusetts.
