KOOL BEANS COFFEE AND ROASTERIE
“I read a story years ago that you could roast coffee in a popcorn popper. I started with that—it was intriguing and became a hobby,” said Kool Beans Coffee and Roasterie co-owner Kurt Osborne . “Then in 2012 we formed the business and bought a commercial roaster for the garage.” Things have definitely changed since the garage days, with the company moving into two spaces since then and becoming a Brookings hot spot for a caffeine fix and a place to connect. With co-owner and daughter Erinn Thomas often behind the bar, guests can say hi and grab items like espresso drinks, brewed coffee, cold brews, and beverages like Matcha , Chai , a London Fog , Hot Chocolate , Italian Sodas , Teas , and more. Food items are also available, like scones, muffins, yogurt with granola, Avocado Toast , and a bagel with cream cheese. For something different, try the Breakfast Banana Split —a banana cut in half, topped with granola and honey, peanut butter, cinnamon, and maple. Whole coffee is also for sale, including Black Jack Espresso Blend , Highlander Grogg , Bum Alum Blend , and more. 225 Main Avenue, Brookings.
