Favorite Local-ish Roaster? (self.coffee)

Always on the lookout for great roasters (I generally buy a bag of fresh roasted when I am visiting someplace). So who is your favorite local-ish (not necessarily around the corner, but at least within a reasonable driving distance) roaster?

For me:

Virginia (northern): Cafe Kreyol
Virginia (eastern shore): Eastern Shore Coastal Roasting Company
Virginia (Hampton Roads): Pale Horse Coffee

I've never been to Atlanta so I can't comment on the others, but I used to work with one of the East Pole founders back when I was roasting in Phoenix and I only have good things to say.

What a small world! The people at East Pole are super passionate about their coffee. Every time I go, I chat with the staff there and they always ask about my brewing setup, what ratios of coffee to water I’m using, etc. You can tell they all love what they do.

I'm in Atlanta and I've never noticed any of those lol. I can't find portrait on Google maps. But I'm definitely going to try the other two this week.

Yeah I don’t know if they have any physical stores, but I know a lot of local places use their coffee. It’s incredible too. If you’re near Ponce City Market, the coffee shop there sells their stuff whole bean, but I usually buy online. It’s always freshly roasted and ships quick.
