Was finally able to stop in today after having this place on my radar for awhile. Definitely did not disappoint!! Great espresso and pour over, the owner was extremely welcoming and the staff was just as hospitable. Great stop to get some work done, or just leasure and enjoy some good coffee. Beans are also amazing quality at a great price. Can't say enough good about this spot! See for yourself!!

The absolute BEST coffee I've personally ever tasted, and some may say I'm a bit of a coffee snob. Currently sipping on a hot cup of "Whitetail" and let me tell ya, you CANNOT make this stuff taste anything but amazing. No matter how you take your coffee, the flavor experience will take you to another world! 10/10 highly recommended!

I’ve tried every major roaster in upstate NY, and this is the best cup of coffee you’ll find including Syracuse. For the quality of coffee they serve, the prices are unbeatable. Their stuff is on par with major third-wave roasters in NYC, and its much more affordable. If you’ve never tried speciality coffee, or just want something that beats starbucks, go here. It’s mostly family run so you’ll probably see the owner there, and the service is amazing as well. If you’re at Fort Drum, it’s the only place worth driving out to.
Parking: Park behind the store, it’s under construction but still open.

THE best coffees! We've been ordering Tug Hill Roasters coffees since we happened upon them over 5 years ago.

We stopped in as we were in town while our dog was getting acl surgery. Found this little spot and it was amazing. The coffee was smooth and delicious.

I’ve worked in coffee for years on the Wesr coast, we moved out East about 8 years ago & I have not found a coffee we’ve liked. We visited after a backpacking trip & hands down this is the best coffee we’ve had in a long time! Their roasts are delicious! So happy we stopped in! Will be purchasing subscriptions to have this wonderful coffee at home too.
I'm not a big coffee person, but my wife loves their coffee. I'm a big fan of the Pain au chocolate (croissant with chocolate inside).

I have been a local, but 2 years ago I had to move out of state. I have been coming back to the area at least twice a year. Had the Running George - Brazil, Medium at the Syracuse Regional Market the other day (Sunday). I have had their other verities of ground coffee a few years back, and both times it has been amazing, to say the least. It's so refreshing to have freshly roasted coffee, not like the ones in the store, where it may have been roasted months if not years ago. To me a coffee should be either Light or medium roast, I believe Dark roast kind of burns the coffee beans, but that's just my opinion.

Location in Lowville is a bit difficult to find, if your not a local, or don't already know where to go. Not, currently, a formal, customer facing experience when you walk in. - I'm not saying it was a bad one. Staff was friendly and engaging, and it was easy to get the lay of the land. Baked goods were delishish as was the coffee. Coffee really was at another level. I'd love to see the coffee shop/bakery progress into a more formal/traditional experience, that is more easily recognizable, without sacrificing the charm and the smells of the current layout. I wish these guys the best!

We traveled to the roaster, kind man told us about all their coffees. What a delicious smell, we have tried 2 so far, so smooth. I like that you can taste the coffee and no acidity. We are going tomorrow to buy more.

I have ordered their dark roasts (Rough and Ready and Black River) multiple times through their website. Each time the coffee has arrived via USPS priority mail, well packaged with a nice note enclosed from the owner. On each occasion, the coffee that arrived had been roasted within a few days.The dark roasts that we have ordered are much better than Starbucks or other big chain coffee brands.I would highly recommend Tug Hill Roasters as not only is their coffee very high quality but they are a locally owned upstate company that supports the community.
