Nassau County may not have as many independent coffee roasters as Suffolk County, but there are still excellent places to buy freshly roasted beans without leaving the county. The choices range from working roasteries and neighborhood coffee shops to regional cafes that sell their own blends and single-origin coffees. This guide covers the North Shore, South Shore, central Nassau, and the western part of the county.
Before You Go

Regional Coffee Roasters
For Five Coffee Roasters

For Five Coffee Roasters operates Nassau County cafes in Manhasset, Garden City, and Port Washington. The company roasts its coffee at its Queens facility and sells whole-bean and ground versions of its signature blends, espresso roasts, decaf, and single-origin coffees. Bags can be purchased through the company’s cafes or online shop.
Why These Shops Made the List
Independent and locally rooted businesses were selected because they roast their own coffee, maintain a documented retail-bean program, or sell noteworthy coffee from an established specialty roaster. The list also emphasizes businesses with an active Nassau County presence rather than companies that operate only outside the county.
Regional coffee companies were included when they maintain Nassau County cafes and sell coffee roasted under their own brand. These businesses provide convenient options in communities that have fewer independent roasting facilities.
Nassau County’s coffee-roasting scene is smaller than Suffolk County’s, so some residents also travel to nearby roasteries across the county line. The businesses above represent verified options for purchasing coffee beans within Nassau County itself.
