We've been drinking Armadillo coffee for a few months now and love it! In addition to great coffee, we had a fun time visiting their shop and learning more about how they roast their coffee. The Armadillo team is knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.

Love the coffee and the care they put into every thing they roast!! I’m a huge fan of the fact they sell a lot of home coffee products as well: drippers, carafe, filters. All the things you get online you can buy here. Big fan!!

Great place to buy freshly roasted specialty coffee (single source and blend) while supporting a local business led by a friendly husband/wife team. This is not only a commercial space - you can visit Armadillo and purchase bags for personal use. I tried both the honey Geisha and Guatemalan Woman Group and both were excellent. If the Geisha is still available, try it.

Just bought coffee from here. I probably have had too much coffee today so hopefully this review doesn't sound like I am hopped up on caffeine. :) Disclaimer: Typically I like a darker roast and I am not a big coffee nerd. I do know what I like but that's about it.

FAQs

Armadillo Coffee Roasters qualifies as a specialty coffee roaster because every bean we source scores 85 or above on the Specialty Coffee Association's 100-point scale, the internationally recognised threshold that separates specialty from commercial coffee. At our Wells Branch roastery in Austin, TX, we roast in small batches of 20 to 30 pounds, which means each batch gets individual attention rather than being processed in bulk. We use Artisan roasting software to monitor and log every roast curve, so the flavor profile you loved in your last bag is reproducible in your next one. Most large-scale roasters skip this level of documentation entirely. Every bag we ship carries its roast date, so you always know exactly how fresh your coffee is. If you have questions about our sourcing or process, call us at 724-494-6967. We're happy to walk you through it.
Armadillo Coffee Roasters is one of the few Austin roasters that roasts strictly to order in batches of 20 to 30 pounds, meaning your bag is roasted within days of shipping, not weeks. Most grocery store coffee sits in a warehouse for 6 to 18 months before reaching your cup; our coffee ships within one to two days of roasting and carries the roast date on every bag so you can verify it yourself. We source specialty-grade beans exclusively (85+ SCA score) from single farms and microlot producers, including women-produced lots from Guatemala and natural-process offerings from El Salvador and Ethiopia. Unlike national online roasters, we also offer free local delivery in Austin, TX, wholesale accounts serviced on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and real human contact. Call us at 724-494-6967, and Andy or Mary will pick up.
Yes, Armadillo Coffee Roasters ships fresh roasted coffee beans online across Texas and nationwide, with every order roasted to order within one to two business days of purchase. If you're in Austin, TX or the surrounding area, we offer free local delivery so your coffee arrives without shipping added. For all other Texas orders and national shipments, standard shipping applies with free shipping on orders over $40. Every bag is stamped with the roast date, so you know exactly when it was roasted. We currently ship single-origin beans, custom blends, and decaf options, with bag sizes ranging from 12 oz to 5 lb. To place a wholesale order for your Texas café or restaurant, visit our wholesale page or call 724-494-6967.
Most orders from Armadillo Coffee Roasters are roasted within one to two business days of purchase and ship the same day or the next business day. When the coffee arrives, it is typically two to four days off roast, well within the optimal brewing window of 5 to 21 days post-roast for most brewing methods. Every bag is stamped with the roast date so you can track freshness yourself rather than guessing. Some specialty and microlot coffees benefit from a resting period of 7 to 14 days after roasting before brewing, particularly natural-process and anaerobic coffees. We note this on individual product pages where relevant. We do not pre-roast inventory and hold it; your bag is roasted for your order. This is standard practice at our Austin, TX, roastery, and the reason we put the roast date on every single bag we sell.
Yes, Armadillo Coffee Roasters offers wholesale coffee beans in Austin, TX, with a minimum order of 5 lbs per week. We roast to order for all wholesale accounts, meaning your café or restaurant receives beans that are one to three days off roast rather than pre-roasted stock sitting in a warehouse. Local Austin wholesale deliveries run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and we ship wholesale orders outside Austin every Tuesday. We supply cafés, restaurants, and offices across the Austin metro with single-origin beans, espresso blends, and decaf options, available in 5 lb, 10 lb, and bulk quantities. Pricing scales with volume. Contact us for a wholesale rate sheet tailored to your weekly usage. To start a wholesale account or request a sample, call 724-494-6967 or submit an inquiry at our wholesale page.
Armadillo Coffee Roasters supplies bulk coffee beans to cafés and restaurants throughout Austin, TX, with wholesale accounts starting at 5 lbs per week. We roast all bulk orders to order, not from pre-roasted stock, so your kitchen or café bar receives beans at peak freshness, typically one to three days off roast. Available options include single-origin coffees from Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, and El Salvador, as well as espresso blends and sugarcane-processed decaf, all sourced to specialty grade (85+ SCA). Local café deliveries run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays within the Austin area. We work with everything from independent coffee shops to restaurant groups that need consistent flavor across multiple locations. To discuss volume pricing or request a complimentary sample roast, call Andy or Mary at 724-494-6967. Wholesale inquiries are handled directly by the owners.
Yes, Armadillo Coffee Roasters sells specialty decaf coffee online and delivers locally in Austin, TX. Our decaf offering is All Hat, No Cattle Decaf, which undergoes sugarcane ethyl acetate (EA) processing, a natural decaffeination method that preserves far more of the bean's original flavour than traditional chemical Swiss Water or methylene chloride processes. The result is a full-bodied, smooth cup with no chemical aftertaste, which is why it consistently ranks among our best-selling products. It's available in 12 oz bags starting at $20, with a subscribe-and-save option from $18 every two months. Austin customers can receive it via free local delivery; Texas and national orders ship within one to two business days of roasting. Order at armadilloroasters.com or call 724-494-6967 if you'd like a sample before committing to a full bag..
Yes, the majority of Armadillo Coffee Roasters' catalogue is single-origin or microlot, meaning each coffee is traceable to a specific farm or cooperative rather than blended from multiple anonymous sources. Current single-origin offerings include Ethiopian Guji Shakiso, Ethiopian Guji Buku Sayisa, Colombian Wush Wush, Gaitania Colombia Nanolot, El Salvador Pacamara Natural, Sumatra Mandheling, and Papua New Guinea Peaberry, with prices ranging from $12 to $28 per 12-oz bag. We also carry women-produced lots from Guatemala through our Little Q programme. Our blends, including the Black Gold Espresso Blend and Agave Sunrise, are built from small regional farms rather than commodity-grade supply. The full catalogue is updated seasonally as new lots arrive. Shop the current single-origin selection at armadilloroasters.com or call 724-494-6967 to ask which lots are freshest right now.
Armadillo Coffee Roasters' single-origin coffees start at $10 for a 12-oz bag of Papua New Guinea Peaberry and range up to $28 for specialty offerings like Agave Sunrise. Most single-origin bags are priced between $18 and $25 for 12 oz. The Black Gold Espresso Blend starts at $20 for 12 oz and is also available in larger 5 lb bags at $95 for wholesale or high-volume home use. Subscribe-and-save plans reduce the per-bag price by 10% on recurring orders. Free shipping applies to all orders over $40, making a two-bag order the most efficient way to shop if you're outside Austin. For wholesale pricing that scales with weekly volume, call 724-494-6967 to request a rate sheet tailored to your café or restaurant's usage.
Specialty coffee is defined by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) as coffee that scores 85 or above on a 100-point quality scale assessed by a trained Q Grade, typically evaluating aroma, flavour, acidity, body, and aftertaste. Regular commercial coffee, including most supermarket brands, scores below 80 and is often blended from multiple lower-grade sources to achieve consistency at volume rather than quality. At Armadillo Coffee Roasters in Austin, TX, every bean we source meets or exceeds the 85-point threshold, and many of our microlot offerings score in the 87 to 90 range. The practical difference in your cup is measurable: specialty coffee has distinct, traceable flavour notes, fruit, chocolate, floral, or nut, whereas commercial coffee is typically flat, bitter, or requires masking with milk and sugar. If you've been drinking supermarket coffee and wondering why specialty tastes different, the grading system is the most honest answer.
Yes, Armadillo Coffee Roasters offers subscribe-and-save coffee delivery in Austin, TX, and across the US. Subscribers receive 10% off every order, with delivery or shipping frequency set to match how fast you drink coffee. Options include weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly cadences depending on the product. Subscriptions are available on most single-origin coffees, blends, and decaf, including the Texas Twilight Dark Roast from $17.10 per month, All Hat, No Cattle Decaf from $18 every two months, and the Traveling Armadillo Monthly Subscription at $20 per month for a rotating selection chosen by our roasters. Austin subscribers within delivery range receive free local delivery on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. You can pause or cancel any subscription at any time through your account portal. Set up a subscription at armadilloroasters.com or call 724-494-6967 if you'd like help choosing the right cadence for your household or office.
Every bag shipped by Armadillo Coffee Roasters is printed with the exact roast date, not a "best by" date, but the actual date the beans were roasted in our Wells Branch, Austin facility. This matters because coffee is at its peak between 5 and 21 days after roasting for most brew methods, and knowing the roast date lets you time your first brew correctly rather than guessing. Most supermarket coffee carries only a best-by date, which can be set 12 to 18 months after roasting, offering no transparency on actual freshness. When your Armadillo order arrives, the roast date is printed on the front label. If it is within the past week, we recommend waiting 3 to 5 days before your first brew to allow off-gassing to complete, especially for espresso. If you have any questions about brewing timing or want to know which lots were roasted most recently, call 724-494-6967 and we'll tell you what came off the drum this week.
The minimum wholesale order at Armadillo Coffee Roasters is 5 lbs per week, making it accessible to independent coffee shops, small restaurants, and office accounts that don't need the 50 lb weekly minimums required by large national distributors. There is no long-term contract requirement; wholesale accounts can adjust their weekly order volume up or down based on seasonal demand. We supply single-origin beans, espresso blends, and decaf in 5 lb, 10 lb, and larger bulk formats, all roasted to order, so your account receives beans that are one to three days off roast. Local Austin wholesale deliveries run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; orders outside Austin ship every Tuesday. Wholesale pricing scales with weekly volume. Call 724-494-6967 or submit a wholesale inquiry at armadilloroasters.com/wholesale-coffee-supplier/ to receive a rate sheet and arrange a complimentary sample roast before committing.
Armadillo Coffee Roasters offers light, medium, and dark roast coffees, with the majority of the catalogue sitting at medium roast to preserve the original character of specialty-grade beans. Light roasts include single-origin lots such as the Colombian Wush Wush and Ethiopian Guji offerings, which express fruit-forward and floral notes suited to pour-over and AeroPress brewing. Our Texas Twilight Dark Roast is our best-selling coffee, a bold, low-acid dark roast designed for drip machines and French press, available at $19 for 12 oz. On the blend side, Black Gold is our espresso-focused roast, available for $20 for 12 oz, and Agave Sunrise is a medium-light blend with a naturally sweet finish, available at $28. All roasts are available as one-time purchases or on a subscribe-and-save plan at 10% off. Browse the full roast range at armadilloroasters.com or call 724-494-6967 for a personalised recommendation.
Yes, Armadillo Coffee Roasters is located at 2711 Daisy Drive in Wells Branch, Austin, TX 78728, and is open to retail visitors who want to purchase beans in person, see the roasting operation, or attend a cupping or tasting session. Unlike most online-only roasters, we operate a physical roastery you can walk into, ask questions, and taste before you buy. Home coffee drinkers can shop in person, order online at armadilloroasters.com with free shipping on orders over $40, or set up a subscribe-and-save delivery at 10% off the standard price. Wholesale clients, including Austin cafés, restaurants, and offices, can start an account with a minimum of 5 lbs per week, with local delivery on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. To plan a visit or ask about wholesale pricing, call 724-494-6967, and Andy or Mary will assist you directly.
