Poulsbo's coffee story

The oldest name here is Pegasus. David Dessinger began roasting commercially in December 1979 in a rented garage on the water at Winslow Wharf, on a pre-war Danish roaster he had imported. Alfred Peet mentored him as he started. The island coffee house fills a 1937 building that was first a hardware store, and its flagship medium roast, Pickleball Blend, honors Bainbridge as the place the game was invented.

Ootopia followed in Bremerton in 1996 and grew into a supplier for coffee shops across the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas. Grounds for Change arrived in 2003. It says it was the first US roaster to earn the Carbon-Free Certified product label, which it has held since 2008, and for every pound of its Peru Cafe Femenino it adds 25 cents to a grant fund for the women who grow it.

Caffe Cocina opened in Poulsbo in 2012. Owner Eric Mahler came from commercial banking. In September 2026 the company fired up a new, larger roaster to keep up with its cafes and wholesale accounts.

Over the Moon is the newest, opened in Kingston in 2020. Its decaf is called Ebb.

How we chose these roasters

Every roaster here roasts in Washington and was operating when we read its own site, on the date its card shows (the list itself was last checked 2026-09-27). Facts come from each roaster's own pages, written in our words; we take nothing from reviews and show no ratings. No roaster pays to be listed, and a listing does not mean the roaster is part of the club. Run a roaster here and something is off? Email coffee@palousecoffeeclub.com and we correct or remove the page.
