St. Drogos' Coffee and Bakehouse is a specialty grade coffee roastery and bakery.
At our facility we believe in making things new. Our facility is the former jail and sheriff residence for Lewis County. Abandoned for 10 years before we acquired it, St. Drogo's has taken on the task of transforming this building into a home for multiple businesses and in so doing, contributing to the revitalization of our village.
​
WE BELIEVE
We believe in our community. By investing in specialty coffee and excellent baked goods we can create jobs and contribute to our community's offerings. We pay real wages to our staff and baristas. Not tip wages.
We care about the environment. Our facility is heated with heat pumps, our 10 oz bags are biodegradable, we compost our coffee grounds and we utilize an afterburner that eliminates 95% of the VOC and odors that our roaster emits.
​
Part of our desire to care for the environment comes from the fact that we are located in a unique part of New York. Squeezed between the Adirondack State Park and the Tug Hill Region we are endowed with amazing natural beauty. We value and appreciate the history of our region while we look forward to being a part of its future.
We care greatly about the supply chains in the specialty coffee and baking world. Our job as roasters and bakers is to understand the journey and story of our products. That means advocating for the needs of farmers, processors and importers.
St. Drogo is not only the patron saint of coffee house owners, but disfigured people, people with mental disabilities and many physical ailments too. We recognize that there is no such thing as "normal" and that we all struggle with different life challenges. St. Drogo's is a place where it is okay to be human and growth is encouraged. ​
