I bet you’ve been driving over the Floyd Bridge and you’ve seen this sign:
Ever wonder what it was? Or how to get that cup of coffee or lemonade they sometimes promote on the billboard? ME TOO! For years, YEARS, I would drive past it, and couldn’t figure out where the entrance was. I laugh at myself now, because I’ve been there several times, and I’ve bought 2 bags of coffee grounds from them so far, and I love their product!
What is Coffee King?
If you love coffee like I do, then Coffee King will become your favorite place to patronize once you find out what they do here.
To start, they specialize in Caturra coffee. Developed in Brazil in 1937, it is distinguished by its bright acidity and low-to-medium body. And the Caturra tree is found throughout Columbia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. If you visit Stumptown’s coffee website (https://www.stumptowncoffee.com/varieties), you will read about how many different coffee varieties there are, and come to realize why it’s such a profitable, everchanging and expansive business.
Back to Coffee King…

How to get there
The first time I tried finding this place…I must have drove past it four times! But the easiest way to describe how to get there is to continue on 3rd street heading East. Pass T&W Tire and drive towards the Floyd Bridge. There right under the bridge it’s tucked away.

Conclusion
Founded by the Goosmann Family in the 1970s, and with 40 years of experience, they travel to learn more about their trade, and study with world recognized professionals. They even ship to all 50 states and worldwide.
So far, I have bought two 1-pound bags, both Blueberry Crème flavored. One I gifted, and believe me you, for that I was the Christmas MVP.
Here’s the list of all the different flavors they can add to your roast: https://www.coffeekinginc.com/caturra-flavored-coffee
I paid $12 + tax for a 1-pound bag. This may seem pricy, but if you’ve been drinking grocery store brands your whole life, you need to give them a chance. I cannot explain how smooth and beautiful their coffee is. When I walked in to buy my 2 bags, I chose the flavor I wanted from their extensive list. They combined the Blueberry Crème syrup with whole beans, then grounded them up fresh for me. Oh the smell! Like a cupcake factory.
One more thing…
Stone Bru uses their beans to make their coffee….more to come on that.
