The product itself deserves four stars - locally roasted coffee is hard to come by and Reading Coffee Roasters offers just that. However, the customer service falls closer to two stars. Its hard to choose a good coffee for your taste when the staff refuses to help you by simply telling you what the general profile of the different coffees are. It started a few months ago when I went in for the first time to check it out. The staff member working was unpleasant, very short when answering questions, and showed little interest in talking about the coffees they sell. I shook it off as a rough day, bought a pound of coffee and went on my way. I just stopped in today hoping for a better experience, but had no such luck. The same staff member was clearly disgruntled to see a customer. When I asked what the difference in flavor was between two coffees they sold, she quickly snapped back that one of the coffees was out of stock so she couldnt tell me anyway. When I asked about another coffee clearly listed on their daily menu, she said it was out of stock and they only had what was on the menu... where I found it. Eventually she looked across the room and found it in stock. Overall, if you can get past the lack of customer service or catch them on a better day, the coffee itself tastes good. Part of experiencing good coffee, though, is knowing the background and profile of the roast. If you want to know those things and learn about the coffee, go elsewhere.

Coffee is pretty good. Tried the Kona Roast. Was expecting more of recommendation based on my preferences. The coffee snob in me wanted to talk coffee and learn more about the local process, and that information was not forthcoming form the staff. They dont sell individual cups of coffee either, but on a plus side I got a free cup from the sample station.

This place has great tasting gourmet coffees! The shop in Birdsboro isnt a sit down coffee shop but rather sells coffee for you to brew at home. I highly recommend stopping in to pick up some coffee!

It is a coffee roaster, not a coffee shop. They sometimes have samples, but not always. The smell is always amazing, and the final product is divine.
