Roasters in MetroWest, town by town

George Howell Coffee is a roaster we have profiled in depth, and the other linked names have shorter profiles on our list; the rest are on the Roast Local list. A listing does not mean the roaster is part of the club.

Framingham

Andina Cafe / Saxonville Mills Cafe & Roastery, Happy Beans and Hogan Brothers Coffee Roasters.

Acton

George Howell Coffee roasts, cups and stores its green coffee at 312 School Street, and fills orders there. George Howell and his daughter Jenny travel to the farms the company buys from, and it pays well above Fair Trade prices on a sliding scale tied to quality. The company also financed the Extract MoJo refractometer and software that baristas use to measure extraction.

MetroWest's coffee story

Andina Distributors, a Colombian coffee importer founded in 2012, opened its cafe and roastery in the Saxonville Mills in Framingham in 2018.

In 2004 George Howell began roasting George Howell Coffee, and the roastery has been in Acton since then. The company has since marked his 50 years in coffee.

Framingham has three roasters of its own, as many as any town on this page, and Sudbury has two.

A bag bought in Framingham, Sudbury or Acton pays MetroWest roasters and the people they hire, and the money stays in the towns where you live. More on why local roasters matter.

How we chose these roasters

Every roaster here roasts in Massachusetts and was operating when we read its own site, on the date its card shows (the list itself was last checked 2026-09-27). Facts come from each roaster's own pages, written in our words; we take nothing from reviews and show no ratings. No roaster pays to be listed, and a listing does not mean the roaster is part of the club. Run a roaster here and something is off? Email coffee@baystatecoffeeclub.com and we correct or remove the page.
