About Us
The Pillar of your morning.
Pillar Coffee Roasters exists to elevate your coffee experience and provide delicious, high-quality, specialty coffee. Ethically sourced and carefully roasted in Washington, we focus on quality and consistency so you can be assured that you're getting that same flavorful cup of coffee every time.
Our Story
Pillar began with two young, entrepreneurially-minded friends, Chazaya and Josiah. The goal was straight-forward - start a business. Not just any business, but something they really believed in. The line of thought that brought Pillar Coffee Roasters into existence was simply, ”Stick to what you know.” Josiah had worked in coffee for years at every level one could at a specialty coffee shop and roastery, as well as had worked in a larger, more corporate-styled coffee company. Chazaya had never worked in coffee, knew nothing about coffee, and never originally liked it, but he knew marketing and how to talk to people and loved doing so. Having been introduced to genuinely good coffee, Chazaya jumped on-board with this idea and developed a passion for it. Combining their different-but-complimentary skills and personalities, Pillar Coffee Roasters was born.
Now Pillar Coffee Roasters grows steadily with a more and more extensive knowledge of coffee and roasting operations. High quality, traceable, specialty coffee being brought to your home or cafe is at the forefront of the mind always.
Our Mission
What We Do
Our mission is to roast high-quality, ethically sourced coffee in small batches and introduce people all over to the amazing world of specialty coffee. Our coffee is traceable if not always certified Fairtrade Organic. It is very important to us that we know what the process of growing the coffee and harvesting it is on each farm we source from.
What We Aim For
We aim to show as many people as possible another side to coffee that is something more than your average mass-produced, burnt coffee that may have even been moldy in storage before it was roasted. Coffee that tastes right and feels right after you drink it. Coffee that you know is not only the right choice flavor-wise, but is also the healthy, ethical choice.
Our Values
These values shape how we roast, serve, and build relationships with our customers, partners, and community.
Integrity
We do honest work, aim for transparency, and stand behind what we produce.
Generosity
We choose people over shortcuts and relationships over transactions.
Consistency
We pursue repeatable quality so you know what to expect every time.
Kindness
We treat customers, partners, and community with kindness and respect.
Our Christian faith shapes how we treat people and make decisions, and we believe that should be seen in our actions. We refuse to place profit over people or product.
