Partners Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roaster that emphasizes community and customer service. The company operates four locations in New York City and recently opened a new, state-of-the-art roasting facility in Brooklyn to meet growing demand.
From Cheddar:
“We started roasting coffee in 2012 out of our original cafe and roastery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.”
“We want people to be in our cafes, sit down, have long conversations. I think sometimes with Starbucks it can feel very transactional.”

14 lots in stock, mostly Colombia, Brazil and Ethiopia.
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

Per-lot signals (averaged)

One thread author reports using Partners Brooklyn blend beans for pourover over a three-year period, describing the cup as rich, round, almost chocolatey, with zero acidity and no bitterness, though noting a recent negative change in the coffee. Another commenter gives Partners a thumbs down in comparison to other coffee experiences. Two other threads mention the roaster solely in catalog or database project listings.

My wife and I found our pourover sweet spot making Partners Brooklyn blend beans, ground with a Barzata Encore grinder, and poured using a ceramic Hario V60 and pre-wet paper filters. We’ve always used tap water, and it’s always been more than fine. We’ve used this setup for the past 3 years, occasionally straying from
…time I tried Forum's Yirgacheffe it blew my mind, second time not so much (I think the barista was the issue). Black River was fine, nothing special (Guatemala Guaya'b), Queen City was solid (Yirgacheffe). Tend to like fruitier, lighter roasts. I've also tried Coffee Project in NYC (amazing) and Partners (thumbs down)
