Start Your Morning With Something More Than Just Coffee

At Origin Coffee Co, we've curated an expansive menu of handcrafted espresso beverages and single-origin specialty coffees that have quickly become crowd-pleasers within our growing community of coffee lovers. We roast our coffee weekly to ensure peak freshness, and our process allows the flavors developed by skillful coffee farmers and processors to really shine in the cup. Whether you're quite the expert in coffee or a budding novice, we're sure there's something on our menu for you to sip and enjoy.

Our chef-driven food menu was crafted intentionally to complement a fresh cup of brew, and we strive to use the best local and organic ingredients. 

We take pride in being a staple gathering spot within the community-- a space where neighbors and Adirondack travelers alike can connect over shared passions for great coffee, thoughtfully prepared food, and the love of gathering together.

COMMUNITY

We believe in the power of connection– especially the kind that happens organically over a hot cup of coffee. We’re committed to providing a space to meet up with your favorite people, foster new relationships, and experience the power of gathering through intentional community events.

UNCOMMON HOSPITALITY

Hospitality is the art of making people feel seen and known. We say “uncommon” hospitality because we hope there’s nothing ordinary about the way we show up to serve you. We always want to keep the bar high– you deserve nothing less.

MEET THE CO-OWNERS OF ORIGIN

MEET CAROLYN

LOVES: COMMUNITY + HOSPITALITY


Carolyn's expertise lies in cultivating community and hospitality experiences. With a background in business and marketing from the University of Buffalo, she found herself completely inspired by two local family-run restaurants from her childhood that served as beloved gathering places for the surrounding community. It became Carolyn’s dream to create her own “third place” that brings people together over the beautiful things of life– good food, ethically-sourced coffee, and spaces where community and connection can thrive.

MEET MIKE

LOVES: COOKING + COFFEE + THE GREAT OUTDOORS


A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Michael has worn many hats in the culinary world – from running farm-to-table eateries to overseeing high-volume resort food and beverage operations. With his deep knowledge of wines and global cuisines, it only made sense that his next step would be diving into the world of specialty coffee. Michael is the go-to when it comes to keeping our shops stocked with quality ingredients, striving for consistency and excellence in all that we do, and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. In 2023, Michael started roasting for Origin Coffee. His passion lies in working with small single-origin lots, meticulously crafting unique roast profiles that unlock each coffee's distinctive natural flavors.
