About La Barba Coffee

Community reputation · Reddit

Well-regarded· sentiment 75/100

La Barba is widely regarded by the Reddit community as an underrated roaster based in Salt Lake City. Users frequently praise their light roasts, particularly their ability to produce vibrant, fruity, and nuanced profiles like the Hacienda La Papaya Typica Mejorado. While some users find their medium-to-dark roast offerings to be underwhelming or "meh," the consensus is that they are a high-quality roaster that deserves more recognition.
