Our story
Downriver is a small, award-winning specialty coffee roastery established in 2024, proudly based in Inverclyde on the west coast of Scotland. We started with a simple idea: coffee should taste really good and it shouldn’t feel intimidating.
We roast for sweetness, balance, and drinkability. Coffee you’ll actually finish. Coffee you’ll think about halfway through the cup and go, oh, that’s good. Not fussy, not overcomplicated. Just carefully sourced, thoughtfully roasted, and genuinely delicious. Honest coffee, roasted well.
Our philosophy is straightforward: approachable, but far from ordinary. It’s coffee for real mornings, busy weekends, and quiet cups at home. It’s built on craft and consistency.
Good beans. Roasted with care. Welcome to Downriver.

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).
