Snake River Roasting Company
Order Online
Snake River Roasting Company is a Jackson Hole specialty coffee roaster and cafe with the cafe at 50 W Broadway near the Town Square. The roastery brings in green beans and roasts in small batches; the cafe serves espresso, drip coffee, breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Wholesale beans go out to other local cafes and restaurants. The right fit is travelers and locals wanting good coffee with a sit-down option, breakfast or brunch with character, and bean buyers who want freshly roasted Jackson coffee. The wrong fit is anyone wanting a chain-coffee experience; this is a small specialty operation.
Snake River Roasting Company: Café Highlights & Coffee Offerings
Two operations. Roastery: small-batch coffee roasting, both for the cafe's own use and wholesale to other Jackson restaurants and cafes. Bean retail (in-store and online) for take-home buyers. Cafe: full espresso bar, drip coffee, plus breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu. Sandwiches, pastries, breakfast plates, and seasonal items. Open daily; closes earlier than dinner restaurants.
Why people stop here
Three reasons. First, the coffee. Small-batch roasting and a real espresso program produces a meaningfully better cup than chain coffee or hotel-room machines. Second, the food. Many specialty coffee shops do food poorly; Snake River Roasting does breakfast and brunch at a real standard, with house-baked pastries and made-to-order plates. Third, the central location. Half a block from the Square means walking-distance access from any downtown lodging.
How to plan a visit
Walk in. Reservations not the format for a coffee shop. For peak weekend brunches (10am-1pm summer and ski-season), arrive early or late to avoid the queue. For bean buyers, the retail shelf carries the current rotation; for specific origins, ask the staff or check the website for online ordering. Walking distance from Town Square lodging.
Tradeoffs to know
Two honest tradeoffs. First, peak weekend mornings can run a wait. Second, hours close before dinner; this is a daytime operation.
One thing to keep in mind
For travelers wanting Jackson-roasted coffee to take home, ask the staff which beans they currently have in rotation that won't be available in three weeks; small-batch roasters move beans fast, and the most distinctive single-origin offerings appear and disappear with the season. Subscribe online for ongoing delivery if you find one you love.
What it comes down to
For specialty Jackson-roasted coffee with a real breakfast and brunch program at a Town Square cafe, Snake River Roasting Company is the right call. Walk in, time around the rush, and consider the bean retail for take-home.
