ROST has roasted coffee in Warsaw since 2021. In 2025 it opened a café in Grochów combined with its micro-roastery, where guests can watch the whole roasting process over their coffee. The roaster is an electric Stronghold, chosen to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The green coffee comes from partner importers, roasted to its own established profiles.

The roastery’s slogan is “Coffee That Cares”. Its bags and visual identity are by the studio kuna.works, and the bags are made of paper and corn starch, fully compostable and with a higher barrier to keep the coffee fresh for longer. The team gets around Warsaw in an electric van, the ROSTOvan.

For coffee professionals, ROST roasts a client’s own green coffee to the client’s profile, hires out its roaster by the hour with or without one of its roasters alongside, and roasts and packs coffee under a client’s own label. It also serves coffee at events.

ROST is the roaster behind STOR, whose owner and general manager co-founded it.
