Kennewick's coffee story
In our records, Kennewick's roasting starts in 2014 with Rockabilly, whose roaster sits inside its shop at 101 W. Kennewick Ave. Besides 2-Stroke and Chop Top, its hot rod names include Rev It Up, Bike Blend and Cloud 9.
The Peacock began as a small-batch roastery that Thomas Kalmbach set up after he arrived in the Tri-Cities, and grew into a cafe and bar. Each month brings a Barista 101 class, a cocktail class and Pizza on the Patio, where guests shape their own dough and bake it in the pizza oven.
In Pasco, Houdini's owner Cody worked for Black Rock Coffee Bar, Resilient Coffee Roasters and Roasters Coffee before going out on his own. He entered an SCA best espresso contest in 2019 and has traveled to Brazil with green coffee importers.
