Maple Leaf Coffee Roasters

Super GemRoselle (suburb) · Coffee Roaster Community-sourced, unverified
📍 352 Irving Park Rd, Roselle, IL 60172

Alex Behrens turned a shared coffee obsession into a business, opening Maple Leaf Coffee Roasters in Roselle in March 2018 as a wholesale small-batch roaster that also sells direct to walk-ins.

$$
Small-batch roasted beans and in-person roasting demos make this a stop for people who actually want to understand what they're drinking, not just grab a cup.

The company's coffee gets served at the Roselle Metra station on weekday mornings, and a 90-minute roaster tour walks visitors through sourcing and roasting with a live demonstration rather than just a tasting. In September 2023, Behrens and partner Molly Duntemann bought a St. Charles riverfront cafe called Kava Diem and rebranded it as Maple Leaf Coffee House in January 2024, giving the brand its first real cafe alongside the original beans-only Roselle roastery.

This location still doesn't serve drinks or offer seating — it's strictly beans and the roasting demos. Open limited hours across the week; check ahead, since the schedule varies significantly by day.
