Bluebeard Coffee Roasters is a small batch specialty coffee roaster peopled by a multi-talented group of Tacomans. We are fiercely proud of our coffees and gathering spaces, and the communities – far and near – that they represent and support.  How about the name? The short answer? Bluebeard was the owner’s family childhood cat. His dad was an English teacher, and Kurt Vonnegut's books were a steady presence around the house growing up, so he assumes the cat's name came from Vonnegut’s novel by the same name.
