Overview

Little Wolf Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe based in Ipswich, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. Founded in 2016 by Chris and Melissa, the company grew out of a home-roasting hobby and a shared love of coffee. The brand is named after the founders' Siberian Husky, River. Little Wolf sources high-quality green coffee and roasts a small, intentional selection with care, aiming to highlight each coffee's unique qualities rather than mask them through roasting. The company operates a cafe and roastery at 129 High Street in Ipswich, where it serves coffee and merchandise, and it also sells beans through subscriptions and wholesale accounts across the country. Its coffees are always light to medium but fully developed, reflecting a philosophy of transparency and quality. The brand's tagline, "Good Coffee & Companions," and its belief that "a cup can only be as good as the company you share it with" underscore its community-oriented approach.

History

Little Wolf Coffee began roasting in 2016 in the small town of Ipswich, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. It was founded by Chris and Melissa out of their love for coffee and sharing coffee with others. The brand is named after their Siberian Husky, River. Chris and Melissa first fell in love with coffee while living in Seattle, where they quickly went down the specialty coffee rabbit hole. Chris, described as obsessive to a fault with new interests, began roasting coffee at home a few years before opening in 2016, sharing that coffee with friends and family before ultimately turning towards a larger, more commercial path. From there, they shared their passion for coffee with the local community as specialty coffee began to grow, in addition to sending coffee to wholesale accounts across the country. The company operates a cafe and roastery at 129 High Street in Ipswich, Massachusetts, and continues to source high-quality green coffee and roast a small, intentional selection.
