How Cherry’s Index is calculatedavg coverage 23% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Most of this roaster’s lots are scored off roaster-level signals (Reddit + YouTube) without per-lot SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, or published buyer reviews. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherry’s Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The avg Cherry’s Index reflects general reputation more than per-lot quality.

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.
