“Blue Bottle is coffee and people. Not necessarily in that order.” —James Freeman, Founder In our eyes, coffee’s main purpose is to be delicious. We go to great lengths to source, roast, taste, and prepare coffee so our guests can enjoy it at peak deliciousness. We know that good coffee depends on strong community. We work directly with farmers around the world to source our coffees as sustainably and ethically as we can. We hire team members who are dedicated to creating beautiful experiences with coffee. From the farm to the cafe, our coffee is handled by people who care.

Ritual Coffee Roasters opened in May 2005 with the intention to share amazing coffee with San Francisco and it was only a matter of weeks, or maybe just one, before Ritual had a line out the door. Many of our customers asked what we were doing to our coffee to make it taste so good, while the connoisseurs simply wanted to know what took us so long to get here. Since then, we've devoted ourselves to sourcing the best coffee in the world by creating unique partnerships with groups and individuals throughout Central and South America. Our focus on sourcing allows us to offer seasonally fresh coffees throughout the year.

Art is in our DNA, and Artigiano is again returning to the excellence we have always been known for. We don’t use automatic espresso machines. We don’t pass off low quality products to our guests in pretty displays. Artigiano takes pride in every single product we sell, and in every beverage we create. We only source local partners with the best ingredients. We take our time. We like conversation. We select our farmers around the world, by being a loyal long-term partner in their business through good times and bad. We roast our own unique blends that nobody can duplicate. We use tools like thermometers on every shot, and we deliver our loyal guests a consistent and perfect cup of coffee - every time. This is our continued commitment to our name, and to the true trade of being a craftsman in coffee. Thousands of baristas have come through our cafes over the years, and they have all contributed to what we are today. For that, we are thankful. We now hope to recreate this coffee culture for the next generation.
