The roastery

Named for a sound.

First crack is the moment beans open with an audible pop and roasting becomes a series of decisions. We named the roastery after it because that is the part we care about: listening, measuring, writing it down.

First Crack has roasted on Foundry Lane since 2019. The menu has never grown past three origins — enough variety to matter, few enough that every batch gets compared against its own history in the log.
