Overview

Velton's Coffee is a small specialty coffee roastery founded in 2007 and located in Everett, Washington. The company focuses on sourcing sustainably grown, ethically sourced coffee beans that are skillfully roasted and blended for quality-oriented consumers. Velton's primarily serves independent coffee houses, restaurants, and Pacific Northwest coffee enthusiasts through direct online sales rather than a retail storefront, positioning itself as a quality-focused supplier in the specialty coffee market.

History

Velton's Coffee was founded in 2007 by Velton Ross, who began his coffee career in 1989 working an espresso cart during college. Ross gained extensive experience as a barista for Seattle's Best Coffee and managed multiple Seattle-area cafes including Bauhaus and Top Pot, where he served as head roaster for five years before launching his own roastery. The company operates from a vintage brick building in Everett's Lowell District, where it has been roasting coffee since its inception.
