Just about everyone enjoys a good cup of coffee, but not all coffee shops are the same. Enter Flying Goat Coffee, one of Santa Rosa’s favorite coffee shops, thanks not only to its tasty brews, but also to its ethical business practices. 

This shop is dedicated to serving single-origin coffee that is purchased from farmers who receive living wages for their work. The beans are then roasted in small batches before being brewed by the baristas at Flying Goat’s storefront. The customer experience here is focused on artisanal, third-wave coffee, so you’ll be able to enjoy your coffee in whatever style you prefer, from pour-overs to cold-brews. The shop itself is bright and airy, with a geometric navy and white tiled floor and a counter made out of reclaimed wood topped with a slab of quartz. It’s a popular spot among patrons to sit down and catch up on email, chat with friends, or dive into a good book.
