The Coffee Tree Roasters first opened its doors in Squirrel Hill, Pennsylvania in 1993 as a simple coffee shop with a small batch in-store roaster. Started by the father and son team fondly known as “The Bill’s,” The Coffee Tree Roasters paved the way for the coffee scene in Pittsburgh, and for all who followed in their footsteps. Coffee Tree licensed stores; a thriving roastery and wholesale division located in West Mifflin; and a full service espresso equipment and repair company called Espresso Solutions. Currently run by Jean Swoope, a Certified Woman Owned and Operated Business.
