J B Peel Coffee Roasters

Great coffee! Friendly service and local too.

Wow!!! Little Red Hook has a real gem here! They have a huge selection of coffee and tea. We only get our espresso here same with their Green and black tea.
Very nice people who own this place too… A must!

Freshly roasted coffees. The beans are often still warm from the roaster when I pick up a pound. Very good quality and variety.

I love your coffee shop. You have almond milk and the atmosphere is great. I was really disappointed to pay $ 6 for a cold brew coffee. That’s more than city prices! Please consider lowering the price!

A coffee distributor? In this small town? YES, it does exist! And I am so happy, because coffee can get really bland and watery when you don’t have the right coffee beans to start. I used to pretty much be a caffeine addict (10 cups a day), but I realized that was mostly due to the lack of good quality cups of coffee around here. Buying beans in bulk from this place was the best thing I could have done for my coffee fix. If you want them ground, they will also do that for you in the store.
The aroma hits you like a wall when you walk in. It’s a coffee drinkers paradise. You can’t resist the names either. Most of them are things like «Tivoli Bread & Baking Blend», which is obviously for the locals since if you don’t live around here you most likely wouldn’t understand the reference. Honestly, this is my favorite blend from JB Peel. There are other local reminders like the Red Hook blend and the Tivoli blend, as well as your standard Colombian and Breakfast blends. The appeal of this place is their specialty items, so those are what I would suggest.
They also have loose teas, yet another reason to stop by here. Sassafras Delight is delicious and something I could drink everyday. And if you’re looking for something more traditional, they have that too.

I never had a single cup of coffee in my life before working here three years ago. After about two months of working here on Saturdays, I gave in and had a cup. And then another. And eventually I tried everything the shop has to offer.
I started to work more hours and became further acquainted with the different types of coffee and teas offered. Never was I forced to know a single thing about coffee and tea, but working here made me want to learn about all the different varieties of beans, roasts and teas. Plus, many of the costumers, whether people from the area or people visiting from the city, would have countless questions about the coffee, so I just had to make sure I knew my stuff.
The place is a bit of an anomaly for Red Hook, most residents don’t even know it exists. Advertising is done solely by word of mouth and people definitely catch on. It’s hands down the most no frills coffee shop that you will ever venture upon, and I mean that in the best way possible. The place (thankfully) didn’t even sell cappuccinos, espresso, or lattes until about a year ago, nor does it have seating of any type. You come in, look around at dozens of different barrels filled with beans from around the world, and pick something out to be ground while sipping an a 12oz cup of Colombian. Or you could pick one of the many blends named after various local towns, or a flavored coffee, or perhaps one of the many varieties tea. The owner roasts the coffee a bit darker than many people are accustomed to; be prepared for a strong, but excellent cup of coffee. Many beans are almost ten bucks a pound, pricey, but well worth it if you desire good coffee. My favorites include the Clermont Blend, Celebes Kalossi, Ethiopian and Sumatra, but all are well worth a try.
