About us

Hello from San Salvador.

GoodBeans is a small specialty coffee shop in Colonia San Benito, Salvadoran owned and run by a small team. Everything we brew and sell is Salvadoran coffee that we roast ourselves.

We know who grows our coffee

Most of our coffee comes from Finca Las Nubes on Cerro Las Ranas near Juayúa, grown by Fernando Gutiérrez. Our Guara and Reserve lots come from a small circle of growers we know personally across El Salvador, from Santa Ana to Ataco.

We buy direct, pay above market price and don’t haggle for discounts. Our lots are picked corte gourmet, meaning only the ripest cherries, and only the best beans make it to us.

We roast it ourselves

Every bean is roasted at Racc Roasters, our roastery in Santa Tecla, a couple of times a week. Then it’s color sorted, bagged and labeled with its roast date. No importers or warehouses in between.

Why it matters

El Salvador grows some of the world’s best coffee, but most of it leaves as green beans, and most of the value is added somewhere else. When we source, roast, pack and ship here, more of that value stays in the country, with the people who grew it.

Come visit

Every coffee on our shelf has a sniff jar, so you can smell before you choose. Order a pour-over of anything we roast, or try our brewing gear at the bar.
