Actual Coffee has launched its first coffee bar in Northwood, Ohio, after 12 years of roasting operations. The grand opening featured complimentary coffee drinks and tours showcasing various single-origin brews. The venue is part of a larger coffee complex that includes roasting areas, training facilities, and a consumer equipment showroom. Creative Director Tiffany Garno emphasized the importance of community engagement, education, and direct access to fresh coffee. Founder Lance Roper's journey began at home, evolving through significant equipment upgrades funded by a Kickstarter campaign.
As a business that had always operated behind the scenes as a wholesale and e-commerce-only roastery, we felt it was time to let our community know we're now more than that.
We believe roasting is a balance between subjective preference and objective execution, honoring the coffee's character and finding that sweet spot where quality and approachability meet.
