At Hometown our aim is simple: roast exceptional coffee whilst staying mindful of where it comes from, the way it's packaged and the people who enjoy it - you.

In 2017, Hometown began in North Berwick, Scotland, where our passion for coffee first started to grow. It is so special to have built Hometown in our hometown.

Today, our coffee roastery is based in East Linton, just five miles from where it all started. Still close to our roots and still driven by the same love for great coffee.

We're Andrew and Rosie - we've been working in fantastic coffee shops since we were teenagers (a while ago now), learning the ropes and honing our barista skills along the way. From competing in the UK Barista Championships to clearing tables and brewing hundreds of coffees a day, those early years certainly gave us a lot of experience and sparked an ever-growing passion for coffee.

Hometown was founded by Andrew in July 2017 with roasting starting a couple of years later in June 2019. With a real drive to learn and plenty of enthusiasm, we bought our first roaster and as much green coffee as we could afford, just three bags at the time. It's a decision we're incredibly proud of.

Today, Hometown is co-owned, with Rosie joining the crew in 2023. Her arrival has allowed Andrew to focus even more on roasting and developing our coffees: something he truly loves.

We really look forward to sharing some great coffee with you on this continuing journey.
