Lincoln Coffee House

The Best Ethically Sourced Coffee

At Lincoln Coffee House & Roasters, we believe that where our coffee comes from matters—not just for quality but also for the farmers who grow it. That’s why we are committed to ethical sourcing, paying prices far above fair trade standards to support farmers in Brazil, Colombia, and India, enabling them to improve their farms, refine their processes, and continue producing exceptional coffee. Transparency is at the heart of what we do, ensuring every bag of our coffee tells the story of its journey from farm to cup. Ethically sourced speciality coffee not only tastes better but also feels better, knowing it supports sustainable farming practices, improves farmer wellbeing, and meets high standards such as organic certification and Rainforest Alliance approval. For us, it’s all about exceptional quality, ethical sourcing, and, most importantly, great-tasting coffee.

Story starts with a feeling

There is a story behind every cup of coffee, and Lincoln Coffee House & Roasters is proud to be part of that journey, roasting beans with years of expertise in the coffee industry. Founded by Jas and Simmi in 2013, Lincoln Coffee began as a family-run café in Reading, aiming to bring a true speciality coffee experience to the area. Their passion for exceptional coffee and delicious food quickly made Lincoln Coffee a local favourite, known for its high-quality coffee and bagels.

Wanting to take their craft further, Jas and Simmi expanded their business by opening their own coffee roastery in 2018, investing in a coffee roaster and perfecting their roasting techniques through dedication and perseverance. Today, Lincoln Coffee House & Roasters is renowned for its speciality roasts, offering a wide selection of filter and espresso coffees while maintaining a strong commitment to ethical sourcing.

As the business continues to grow, our focus remains on sourcing ethically produced coffee, paying prices above Fairtrade standards, and delivering the highest quality speciality coffee to our customers.
