When you approach the Firehouse Coffee Roaster and Tea Company, you can smell the coffee before you open the door. That’s because the Firehouse is a real coffee roasting establishment and they roast their coffee on the premises. Owners Dana and Karen Kern are dedicated to producing the finest freshly roasted coffee, roasting each order as it’s received. They do not stockpile any roasted coffee to lie around and become stale but instead ship immediately.

Dana and Karen founded the original Firehouse Coffee Roaster and Tea Company in Bullhead City, Arizona in 2005. They wanted to provide the best possible coffees and espressos and so learned the art and science of coffee roasting. The company is named Firehouse because Dana is a veteran captain in the Bullhead City Fire Department. They are strong believers in the value of tradition and run their roasting company accordingly.

The Firehouse roasters purchase only the best coffee beans offered by coffee growers all over the world. They are careful to roast each type of coffee bean at the right time and temperature. In keeping with traditional coffee roasting values, they roast on a gas-fired drum to create a smooth-flavored coffee. They take great care to be sure their methods bring out the attributes of each coffee bean they roast.

Though they sell most of their coffee wholesale, they sell coffee and food at the roasting company. Breakfast is served from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and lunch from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There menu includes some fascinating choices, though some of the items are not to everyone’s tastes. They offer a bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and a number of interesting quiches, including a Mexican quiche with peppers.

The original Firehouse Coffee Roaster and Tea Company is at 2350 S. Miracle Mile Ste. 306, Bullhead City, Arizona. There are four additional locations including Riverhead Mall, Mojave Valley, AVI Casino, and WARMC. If you’re going anywhere near any of these locations, stop by and take a look inside. It’s worth it just to smell the coffee roasting and you can enjoy a good meal while you’re there.
