Bright lemon honey, full-bodied Colombian light—sweetness meets sunrise
Full-bodied with a bright, lively acidity, this light‑roasted Colombian delivers a clear lemon spark that quickly yields to honey‑sweet caramel and brown‑sugar depth. The sweet‑sour nuance stays crisp, while the smooth, rich finish carries a lingering, mellow sweetness—ideal for single‑origin pour‑over or a nuanced espresso.

Ahrre was born and raised in Summit, New Jersey, graduated Summit High School in 1978, and went out to California to study Theater. He eventually changed direction and earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science at the University of California in Riverside. Upon graduating from college, Ahrre moved to Berkeley, CA, just outside of San Francisco. Ahrre says that he became accustomed to good-tasting, fresh-roasted coffee while living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The ‘café scene’ and coffee-drinking are an integral part of the culture out there. Whenever he returned to New Jersey, he would bring several pounds of coffee with him from his favorite Roastery in Berkeley. He needed to bring the coffee simply to survive the visit, but he also enjoyed introducing his East Coast friends to quality coffee. As a result, a few of his friends began playfully calling him “CoffeeBoy!” But after a while, his endless complaining about the quality of coffee available in North Jersey became so irritating to his friends that one of them strongly suggested that he either move back to New Jersey and open a Coffee Roastery or SHUT UP! The rest is history! Ahrre thought about this for a while and decided that such an enterprise would do well in the Summit Area. So, upon returning to California, he began working at his favorite coffee Roastery in Berkeley, to learn about the ins and outs of the business and began planning the logistics of opening his own Roastery. He originally intended to open the Roastery in Summit—his hometown—but couldn’t find a suitable space. Finally, he found just the spot, and Ahrre’s Coffee Roastery opened in Cranford on February 10, 1990. Two years later, Ahrre found an even better spot in the heart of downtown Westfield and relocated his Roastery on April 10, 1992.

Best coffee in Westfield! I got the iced vanilla latte 10/10.
Thank you Megha! The Vanilla Latte is my favorite too, especially when Ray makes it! See you soon!
Dan! Thank you for the great feedback! We love making our guests happy!
good coffee but they’re always out of something (lids, cups, etc.)
Sameera! Glad you love the coffee. So many others do as well which is why we run out of stuff. This is a great problem to have … and we’re working on it. 😬 We appreciate your patience. 😊 ~ Roastmaster Ahrre
Walked in to get a cup of coffee and to look at some beans but I ended up having a great experience talking with Ray. He’s clearly passionate and knowledgeable about all things coffee and it shows up in the craft. He even offered advice on making espresso at home explaining the differences between machines and tools. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and a Cappacino which came out amazing and I highly recommend this spot for your coffee needs.
Hi Nikhil! Thanks for taking the time to show Ray (and us) some love! Ray has been with us, on and off, for 11+ years. I hate to think where we’d be without him. His passion for all things coffee is a gift. Just wait until you meet AMANDA! See you soon! ~ Ahrre
Always good!
Thank you Michael! We will keep trying! See you soon. ~ Ahrre
