Price and availability set by the roaster.

Roasts to order · ships in ~2d

Your bag is roasted after you order; expect a short delay before it ships, but it arrives as fresh as the roaster can make it.

“All of our coffee is roasted to order, and we work hard to fulfill orders as quickly as possible. We roast coffee five days a week, Sunday through Thursday” source ↗

Cherry's Index

Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Noted

Sparse signal

Confidence23% coverage / 2 of 7 signals

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive. Coverage is signal availability, not cup quality; missing sources are dropped, the remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so a single thin signal can’t carry the score on its own.

Cult favorite· sentiment 85/100

Parlor Coffee is consistently regarded as a high-quality, reputable roaster, particularly within the New York City coffee scene. Users frequently praise their batch brew and espresso offerings, often citing them as a benchmark for quality. While there is occasional confusion in threads between the Brooklyn-based roaster "Parlor Coffee" and the Nashville-based cafe "Barista Parlor," the sentiment toward the roaster itself remains strongly positive.
