IT'S SWELL TO BE SURFING
Every so often a surfer is treated to a perfect day – when wind, tide, and swell come together. These days are rare, but the search for them is endless. Anyone who’s had that perfect cup of coffee knows this feeling too – it’s something we wake up anticipating, every morning.
So Dave and Drew, while waiting for the next epic day, started Swell Joe Coffee Roastery, knowing that a swell cup of coffee could tide us over.

IT'S SWELL TO BE SIMPLE
BECAUSE FRESH = SWELL
We’re small-batch coffee roasters who believe that less is more. We’re proud to offer six signature roasts with off-the-charts flavor. By keeping a laser focus on what works, we gather the best coffee beans from around the world and roast them to perfection – then send them straight off to our wholesale shops and online customers.
IT'S SWELL TO BE SERVED
We’re brewing a thriving wholesale division and are committed to provide our customers with fresh-as-it-gets coffee and we-love-working-with-you kind of service. We’re stoked to be served at some of the coolest cafés, restaurants, grocers and shops throughout coastal Delaware, including:
