Our Story

Not everyone falls in love with coffee the moment they taste it. For Christopher, that moment happened in a roadside diner with his grandfather when he was just 8 years old. A simple cup—black, quiet, and deeply flavorful—sparked years of curiosity that followed him across the East Coast. He explored brew methods, single origin flavors, and eventually, the art of roasting from his home in Goochland, Virginia.

Today, After Dark Roasting is a solo pursuit with a community mindset. Christopher’s mission is simple:

To help people discover single-origin, premium coffee—without the premium price tag.

Every bean is thoughtfully selected. Every roast crafted to spotlight its origin. Whether you’re brewing your first pour-over or steeped in years of espresso expertise, After Dark is here to make the ritual accessible, meaningful, and undeniably delicious.

So brew boldly. Sip slowly. Welcome to After Dark.
