Pilgrim Coffeehouse is one of the beloved local roasters we follow in Washington: an independent roaster based in Seattle. Here is what their own pages and public sources say about them, in our words.
Their story
A coffee truck got the business started, and the truck is still booked for events. The NORA Coffeehouse opened in February 2021 and is the company's base. In April 2022 Justin and Keith from the company visited hillside farms around Matagalpa, Nicaragua to start buying from Gold Mountain Coffee Growers, with a second trip set for January 2023.
Coffees bought through those origin visits are sold as a Relationship Coffee line, and the company says growers should be paid fairly and treated with respect.
What they roast
House blends include NORA Espresso Blend. Single origins on the list when we checked: Colombia, Nicaragua, Kenya and Brazil. Espresso: NORA Espresso Blend. Decaf: Decaf Guatemala. Offerings change with the seasons, so this is what their own pages listed on 2026-09-28.
Where to drink it
The Aurora Avenue coffeehouse is open Monday to Saturday, 6am to 3pm.

Why buying from Pilgrim Coffeehouse matters here
NORA is short for North Aurora, the Seattle neighborhood around the coffeehouse. Its motto says everyone is a pilgrim wherever they are headed, and that the trip goes better shared with friends over a cup. Online it sells a NORA Espresso Blend, a decaf Guatemala and a roaster's choice subscription, and it takes wholesale accounts.
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.
