Melinda's Bio - Barista
Posted by Hannah Reedy on
Melinda, one of our baristas and newest Rocky Butte Coffee team member, was born in Aberdeen, Washington. Her ministry-oriented family settled in Portland in 2014. Close with the Helms family, and through high school relationships, Melinda became familiar with the Rocky Butte community. Her hope for the Rocky Butte Espresso Bar is that it will continue to become a staple of the neighborhood, a place where regulars who all know each other can feel at home, and a place where anyone will go out of their way for the best coffee.

The Story Behind Our Black Santa Roast—And What You Support When You Buy It
Posted by Hannah Reedy on
If you’ve tried our Black Santa roast, you might recognize it as our Mean Street roast in a new package.
But what’s DIFFERENT is that for every 12oz bag of Black Santa purchased, we donate $3.60 to The Voices Project, an organization empowering leaders of color to better influence their communities.
