ReAnimator was born in 2010, roasting in the basement of a row home in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. The mission then is the same one we follow now: source incredible coffees, roast them carefully, and showcase what makes this ancient beverage so special.
All of our coffee is roasted at 310 W Master Street in South Kensington, inside a former elevator factory. It's also a working café, so you can stop in, grab a coffee, and see the whole process happening from start to finish.
We buy coffees when they're fresh from harvest, and roast them carefully to showcase the inherent flavors that make them so special. We work with the best producers, cooperatives, and importers in the industry to ensure a sustainable supply chain from start to finish.
All of our single origin coffees are available in small lots, so nothing lasts on the menu too long, and things are always fresh.
Roasted in Philadelphia and usually shipped within one business day, with the roast date printed on every bag. Subscriptions exist so nobody drinks stale coffee out of politeness.
We return to the same producers year after year — from washing stations in Yirgacheffe to a micro mill in Costa Rica — and pay for quality that makes returning possible.
Visit any of our six Philadelphia cafe locations to explore our menu of coffees or specialty drinks.
