Ethiopia Yirgacheffe | Worka Chelbessa | Washed

Founded in 2018 in Toronto's west end, Somewhere Coffee Company leans into the idea of coffee as an escape, a way to travel to another place without leaving your neighborhood. The roastery sources from diverse global origins including Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, Brazil, and Indonesia, and coffees are often named to evoke their country of origin, reinforcing the travel theme. Small batch roasting produces medium profiles that balance origin character with everyday drinkability. The approach is playful but the quality is serious, with a wholesale program supplying Toronto cafes and restaurants. A subscription service keeps things moving with rotating selections that take subscribers on a kind of global coffee journey from their kitchen.
