Tugboat Joe is THE place for specialty coffee. Has a huge selection of beans and offers different roast levels so you can really fine-tune to your taste. Amazing customer service and excited to buy more!

It's one thing to have a curbside coffee roaster in your neighborhood, but it's entirely another to have one who consistently sells tasty, aromatic, and interesting beans at a fraction of the price of any other local roaster in Branford.A highlight of the Short Beach neighborhood!

Excellent coffee. I ordered the Captains Watch blend, whole bean. Nice and strong but not too strong. Very fast shipping and very nice communication from the owner. Would definitely order again.

The coffee is EXCELLENT and it's great to support local businesses.Got the Costa Rican light roast and it's one of the best coffees that I have tasted.Jeff was helpful and obviously puts a ton of care into his products. Definitely will be a repeat customer and can't wait to try other blends and to get family and friends hooked on it as well!

Really is a nice chap...He communicates with you and really wants to to enjoy the experience of drinking his coffee. You can pretty much choose the grind and roast...I have actually now found my favorite coffee...Thanks

I highly recommend Jeff's espresso beans! Great quality, will definitely be back to try something new.

Joe runs his roasting operation out of his home, meaning it’s made in small batches with a focus on freshness. He even offered to roast my order to my own preference on roast levels and based on my tastes. Someone passionate doing what they love always results is something great for their customers.
Jeff AKA Tugboat Joe roasts rich and bold coffees that share his bold experiences with his career as a tugboat captain. The coffee is great and if you are fortunate to stop by while he is roasting you can learn a lot about coffee as well as captaining a tugboat in NYC.

The little shop is on the road so it’s always accessible!

This is by far some of the best coffee I have had! The attention Captain Jeff gives each blend is well beyond the expectations of most and he truly loves what he does.It doesn’t matter if your starting your 0600 wheelhouse watch off Cape Ann in a nor’easter or sitting at your desk with a view of a city; you will automatically have a better day with this cup of Joe.

A great neighborhood coffee roaster! I bought one of the more basic bags of coffee, but it was a fantastic roast.
