Broadcast Coffee is one of the beloved local roasters we follow in Washington: an independent roaster based in Seattle, founded in 2008. Here is what their own pages and public sources say about them, in our words.
Their story
Founder Barry Faught grew up in Idaho. His father, Bill Bailey, was a radio DJ and a local celebrity in Boise, and Barry worked in the family broadcasting business after college before moving to Seattle. In Seattle his cafe visits grew from a hobby into an obsession, and in 2008 he opened the first Broadcast cafe at Yesler Way and 20th Avenue, named for his father's love of radio. From the start the aim was to spread love and acceptance through hospitality, and the logo was designed as a quiet nod to those values.
Broadcast buys boutique coffees from family farms and cooperatives and says it puts relationships ahead of profit when it buys. It roasts for balance and sweetness: one dark roast, a few light roasts and mostly medium roasts, so there is something for most tastes. Today it runs three cafes and a bakery, Temple Pastries, and its roasting team supplies a growing list of wholesale accounts. It roasts Monday through Thursday and delivers to wholesale customers around Seattle each week.
It has since opened a cafe in downtown Boise, in Cherie Buckner-Webb Park, bringing the brand back to the founder's home state.
What they roast
Roast levels run light, medium and dark. House blends include Request Line, Breaker One 9, Crossfade and Nightcall. Single origins on the list when we checked: Ethiopia Nano Genji, Kenya Murang'a Gondo AA, Kenya Swara AB, Guatemala Rio Ocho, Mexico Chiapas and Colombia Del Campo. Decaf: Decaf Colombia Palo Rosa. Offerings change with the seasons, so this is what their own pages listed on 2026-09-27.

Why buying from Broadcast Coffee matters here
Its first cafe has been at Yesler Way and 20th Avenue in Seattle's Central District since 2008. Runs Temple Pastries Bakery Cafe on South Jackson Street. Delivers fresh roasted coffee weekly to wholesale accounts across Seattle and King County zip codes.
Every bag bought from a Seattle roaster pays roasting and cafe wages in Washington, and the coffee reaches you days after roasting instead of months. That is the reason the club exists. Why local roasters matter.
