Franklin Roasters
A small-batch roastery and café at the base of the Franklins, built for slow mornings and post-trail espresso.
Discover915 Founding PartnerThe story
Franklin Roasters started with a used drum roaster in a garage and a standing order from a handful of neighbors. The café came later, once the line outside the garage got hard to explain.
Beans are roasted a few feet from where they're poured, and the menu keeps a permanent place for horchata lattes and café de olla.
Why people love it
- Single-origin pour over changed weekly
- Horchata latte, cinnamon-forward and not too sweet
- Patio seating with a straight view of the mountains
