A comment from Justin of San Dimas, CA
I don't live in Wichita, but my brother does and he told me about this hometown gem. What an amazing cup of coffee! Tim and his family are the most personable, nicest people you'll meet. They always recognize you and have a friendly hello. The coffee is the best tasting coffee I've ever had--and I drink tons!--and it's the most wonderful example of a local merchant doing what's right for his neighbors.
I make it a priority to stop by Tim's Fresh Roast Coffee Co. every time I'm in town and to bring a pound or two of his amazing beans home with me. Go, people! You won't regret it!

A comment from Jake of Wichita
Absolutely phenomenal coffee! Truly extraordinary! Both in their ability to create drinks brewed to order and in the quality of Timothy Wiesner's freshly roasted beans. I have been fortunate to try Blue Bottle coffee in San Fransisco, as well as many other fine coffee shops including Cafe Modern here in Wichita and many other less known places around here, the rest of the country and some in Europe. Tim Wiesner's is simply the best I've had so far! (Slightly edging out Blue Bottle in my opinion). If you're interested in having the absolute best cup of coffee in Wichita you must try this place. The beans he sells are often roasted only HOURS before. This has opened up a new dimension in my experience with brewed coffee. What is also so great about this place, is that Tim is a delight to deal with and their customer service overall is excellent. It is true that the line can get "long" during peak hours, but definitely no worse than Starbucks, and often times I am the only one in there! It is also important to know that there is another place to buy his coffee beans (whole) and that is at Green Acres grocery store in Bradley Fair shopping center here in Wichita (not any more). Tim roasts several different varieties of beans that envelope most of every range of flavor, aroma, acidity. Oh, and the prices, LOW! This is a must try at least once for everybody in Wichita that drinks coffee!

Down to business. This man and his son do two things here. 1. Roast the best coffee I have ever had the pleasure of brewing and consuming. 2. Making said coffee for you into the best espresso, mocha, black coffee(pour over, so good), or anything else you might want. And holy moley is it good!!!
I have had coffee all over the world and this takes the cake. I don't know how he chooses his beans but they are all great. Don't go in expecting a huge coffee shop that you can sit in with your mac out cruising the interwebs. Just a small shop with great coffee.Wichita, KS

As a coffee aficionado, I would say this is some of the best coffee I've had! So glad Wichita has an independent roaster. I so wish they had more seating because I would have loved to had sat and had a cup or two! I am going to start buying whole beans by the pound to have this delicious coffee at home!

With Fresh Roast's second anniversary right around the corner, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in knowing that I am a long-time follower of the Fresh Roast gospel. This minute coffee shop, (as Tim says "It's small, but tiny!"), may not look like much to passerby, but it's the inner workings that make it absolutely irreplaceable and incomparable. I love the way my jacket smells like freshly roasted coffee on the days where there's new roasts; I love knowing that the coffee I'm getting is a direct descendant of the roast whose aroma I'm carrying around with me. Some people may complain about the few minute wait in regards to a freshly-brewed, slow drip cup of coffee, but personally, that's the best part. Because not only has Fresh Roast completely mastered the perfect cup of coffee, but the baristas, (both Tims alike), are friendly, compassionate, and genuinely good people. Over the last two years, I have been blessed with not only the best coffee my taste buds have ever found, but also the company of people whose enthusiasm and joy is contagious. Fresh Roast is more than a good cup of Joe; for myself, and I'm sure the other regulars, it's part of the family, the daily grind, and always feels like coming home.

Incredibly wonderful coffee. I have tried coffee roasters from around the world and this ranks as some of the best. I love a bold coffee without a bitter aftertaste and Tim has delivered with every variety that I have tried. My favorite is a plain black cup of coffee. The beans are freshly ground for each cup, the water is measured and the timer is set. The aroma and flavor are as good as it gets.
