Welcome to Quarry Grounds, where we blend our love for great coffee with a deep commitment to sustainability. This fall, we’re excited to share not just the rich, warming flavors of the season, but also how we’re bringing our sustainability mission to life in everything we do, from the beans we roast to the treats we serve. Whether you're curling up with a pumpkin spice latte or savoring our new seasonal pastries, you’ll taste the difference that comes from mindful sourcing and responsible practices.

Sustainability at the Core: Our Coffee Roasting Process

At Quarry Grounds, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the foundation of everything we do. From sourcing the highest-quality beans to ensuring that every step of our roasting process leaves a minimal environmental footprint, we’re dedicated to making a positive impact.

1. Sourcing Ethically-Grown Beans

We work directly with small-scale farmers around the world who practice organic farming, ensuring that the beans we use are not only top-notch in flavor but also grown in a way that respects the land and supports local communities. Many of our beans come from farms that implement fair-trade practices, so when you sip on your favorite brew, you know you’re supporting both the farmers and the planet.

2. Roasting for Flavor & Sustainability

Our state-of-the-art roasting equipment is designed to minimize energy consumption while maximizing flavor. We roast in small batches to ensure that every cup of coffee has the optimal flavor profile. In addition, we recycle all our coffee chaff (the outer husk of the bean) by turning it into compost or using it in local gardening projects. It’s just one more way we close the loop and reduce waste.

3. Packaging with Purpose

We’ve committed to eco-friendly packaging made from recyclable or biodegradable materials. Whether you’re purchasing a bag of our freshly roasted beans or taking home one of our seasonal blends, you can feel good about your impact on the environment.

Fall Flavors That Celebrate the Season

Now, onto the fun stuff! Fall is a time for cozy flavors, and we’ve got a whole range of treats and drinks to help you get into the spirit.

🍁 Dirty Pumpkin Iced Chai

Our dirty pumpkin iced chai blends spiced chai tea, espresso, and real pumpkin puree for a bold, creamy drink that’s both energizing and indulgently fall. It’s the perfect pick-me-up on those sunny-but-chilly autumn days.

🎃 Pumpkin Cold Brew

Cold brew isn’t just for summer. We swirl our smooth, sustainably sourced cold brew with a pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice syrup and a touch of sweet cream to give you all the fall flavor without the heat. It’s autumn in a cup.

🥧 Pumpkin Pie Tea Latte

This cozy creation is everything you love about pumpkin pie, with warming spices, a hint of sweetness, and rich pumpkin flavor steeped into a frothy tea latte. It’s comfort-guaranteed.

🌰 Fall-Flavored French Macarons

Our seasonal macaron lineup features delicate, crisp shells filled with flavors like bananas foster, chocolate cookie butter, pumpkin spice latte, apple cider, and vanilla bourbon. 

🧁 Carrot Cake Muffins

Moist, spiced, and just sweet enough, our carrot cake muffins are made with real carrots, warm spices, and a touch of oat flour for a heartier, more wholesome treat. They pair perfectly with any of our seasonal drinks, and yes, they’re just as good as they sound.

Incorporating Sustainability Into Every Sip and Bite

We believe that making the world a better place starts with the choices we make each day, both big and small. Our mission to make Quarry Grounds Café an eco-conscious space means more than just serving great coffee, it’s about integrating sustainability into everything we do.

Reducing Food Waste

We’re committed to reducing food waste by partnering with TooGoodToGo, an app that lets us sell our leftover food at a highly discounted rate directly to consumers. 

Waste-Free Beverage Options

We encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups. For those who need a disposable cup, we provide 100% compostable options that break down naturally. We’ve also moved to compostable straws and eliminated single-use plastics wherever possible.

Chef Frank

Quarry Grounds Manager, Frank Christy, is excited for you to experience our house-roasted coffee and locally sourced snacks and treats. When he’s not roasting coffee at the Edelman Fossil Park & Museum, you can find him watching Jurassic Park for the millionth time, playing "Raptors" with his children at home, or spending time with his wife of 11 years, Kelsey. FUN FACT: Frank used to be an award-winning cake decorator, spending much of his career working with the Cake Boss at Carlo's Bakery. If you can think it, Frank can turn it into an amazing looking cake that also tastes out of this world!
