Our story
Downriver is a small, award-winning specialty coffee roastery proudly based in Inverclyde on the west coast of Scotland. Our coffee is transparently sourced, carefully roasted in small batches, and consistently delicious. Every coffee has a story and we feel it's our duty to share the stories of the incredible producers we buy from, importers we work with, and communities that we roast for.
Downriver gets its name from its position on the Clyde ('doon the watter' as some may say), nestled in the town of Port Glasgow. We're proud of Inverclyde's incredible coastal scenery, its industrial shipbuilding history, and its strong sense of community spirit.
Downriver won the Entrepreneurism Award and was a finalist for the Sustainability category at the 2024 Inverclyde Chamber of Commerce ICON Awards.

When they say it takes a village, they mean it. Shout-out to my superstar family who lend an essential helping hand and get paid in bottomless coffee cups (and/or dog biscuits).
