Utica

About Utica Coffee Roasting Co.

It all began in 2002 with the purchase of our Genesee Street location in a relatively economically depressed area of Utica. The potential not only in this location but the whole area was seen by our founder & president, Frank Elias.

Another problem solving opportunity was to give folks in the area jobs to get them started and advance in! In 2005, a roaster was moved into this building with a goal to start sourcing and roasting the world's highest quality coffee. This was transformed over time into a busy and bustling cafe with the vision of partner, Heather Elias.

Utica Coffee Today

Today, Utica Coffee Roasting has become so much more than that initial Genesee Street location. With cafes in Utica & Clinton, our world-class roasting & education center on Hotel Street, and production facility in a historical freight house in Utica; it's safe to say that the Utica Coffee brand has grown to be a staple of our community.
