Hands down best coffee around. Price is extremely reasonable. Get it while you can at woodlands. It flys off the shelf.

I got a light roast blend from Graffeo. The espresso had a good texture to it, with subtle chocolate/nut flavors. No bitterness, but this was a light roast. The store is a bit underwhelming and could benefit from a make over. Also, I paid $23/pound beans, which is in my opinion a bit pricey. Overall 4 stars.

Very dark & oily seems to be the West Coast idea of Coffee. Loses any sense of a Latin / Indonesian origin. Sweetness enhanced, Caffeine degraded, and burnt taste predominates. How did they get so far away from an Espresso roast?

Nice from the outside. Nice pics. Area filled with coffee shop. Lots of competition for good cups if coffee. Good hours. Nice website.

We live in the Los Angeles area and Graffeo's is one of our favorite coffees. We always look forward to grabbing beans when we're in town. Thanks!

I find this the most consistent and consistently superior coffee roaster. They also provide excellent crime prevention services. I was late ordering and we were at risk of running out, I put in the comment section of my order that my wife would kill me if that happened and if they could ship quickly that might help prevent a murder. They shipped the same day and I am still here to write the review

For whatever reason the heavily tatted salesman had a horrible attitude today when I attempted to buy my usual 2 pounds because I didn't have my mask on. I told him that I had left at home (true - I obey The Rules and wear indoors) and perhaps I could have one of theirs they keep a stack of in the drawer behind the counter. No, he says, we don't give those out. I said Walter gave me one a couple months ago without me even asking. He just stared at me like a goat. He could've asked what I wanted, walked 20 feet to hand the coffee to me outside the front door, and made the sale. I have purchased thousands of dollars of their coffee over the last 25 years but no more.

Fabulous coffee. Everybody who tastes it becomes a fan (and an addict). Never bitter, always velvety smooth and aromatic -- as a result of their unique air roasting process. I hope they stay in business forever!
Dark roast organic coffee was horrible. It was bitter. I never had charcoal juice but this must be the closest thing. I stopped drinking, using it to exfoliate my butt, garden fertilizer...

Really good 'light' roast (although it did seem closer to a medium roast to me), very flavorful for espresso.However, I also got the dark roast, and it did look, smell and taste burnt. Tried it a couple of time, and I hate to say it, it was quite awful. Maybe I got a bad batch or it just isn't good for espresso but yeah, I wouldn't buy that one.

Only sells roasted beans. They are fresh and make good coffee. I have only had the light roast, which I find a bit on the dark side to be a true light roast. This is quite common though and will suit many tastes.
