Homestead Coffee Roasters

Cool little «general» store on the Delaware River Tow path. Nice selection of food, great coffee. Staff very friendly… A «go-​to» destination when biking on the path…

Excellent breakfast and coffee. We went here on our way to the Lost River Cavern. The coffee were interesting and very strong and good according to my coffee expert boyfriend. The breakfast came out amazingly fresh and the bacon was freshly cooked with just the right crispiness. Even the buttered toast was excellent. It tasted just like a home cooked breakfast.

The best cup of coffee I’ve ever had! I was walking along the tow path that runs behind the roastery (probably not a word) and the smell of freshly roasted coffee led me here. I will absolutely be picking up a pound (or more) the next time I’m in Milford, NJ!

Really cute place! Very cozy, community oriented. they sell their own roasted coffee along with books from local authors and other local goods. Homemade baked goods, and a great chip selection. Who knew a turkey sandwich could go so right? And they always have homemade soups which seem to change daily. Menu is small, basically soups, sandwiches, and coffee, but they do it well.

I am a coffee fanatic, and Homestead has the best! If dark roast coffee is your thing, you must try their Italian Roast, «Dead Man’s Brew». I think it is one of the best coffees I have ever had. Super strong, rich, & smooth. «Black Eddy’s Darkness» is an awesome French Roast! Their flavored coffees, which I’ve only seen in their general store, are fabulous. Their website is great, and you can get free shipping on orders over $ 50 with a coupon code from their Facebook page. I placed an order on a Friday as a gift for my brother in California & he received it the following Monday — WOW! You can also order 5lb quantities & save a lot.

Awesome little place on the banks of the Delaware river, good food and coffees and teas as well as atmosphere!

This is a great little general store with a warm atmosphere… I’ve only been here for breakfast and that’s all it took for me to give it a 5-​star review.
For starters, one of my favorites are the homemade waffles which are light and fluffy on the inside with that perfect golden outside… Some of the best I’ve ever had.
The best thing they have (in my opinion) is the baked oatmeal with fresh blueberries… All you need to do is pour in some milk or half and half then mix it around and you have one of the best breakfasts around. It sticks to your ribs and leaves you feeling just full enough.
The crown jewel of this place are their roasted coffees… Their ‘homestead’s own’ is crisp, smooth, and a perfect morning blend. Plus, they have a myriad of different blends and flavors that are delicious.
I can’t recommend this place enough…

The homestead general store is a great little spot if you can deal with the rudeness that will be often delivered to you with any question you may have or your meal. The food is decent and fairly priced, although I’ve been charged 3 different prices for the same thing. The coffee is good and the atmosphere is neat. There seems to be a fair amount of turnover or poor management which makes the general store missing its full potential. I’d recommend searching around the area and you will find other great spots with good food, atmosphere and far superior service.

The ice coffee is fabulous. I would skip the sandwiches. They also sell cigarettes and it appeared most of the customers had end-​stage emphysema from their daily 3 pack purchases.

This is for just the Homestead Coffee Roasters, NOT the General Store.
I’m a serious coffee person. Whole bean only.
I’d have to try some other blends. I wanted to get a good deal, so I bought the 25lb bag of something that was dark and acidic. Yuck. I couldn’t wait to get rid of it. I’d probably have better luck with a breakfast blend.
It’s worth it just for the convenience. Pricewise, they seem a little cheaper than Peddlers Village (but good lord, who isn’t?), but a LOT more expensive than comparable blends from my favorite coffee store on Bleecker in NYC.
I take my coffee kinda seriously, folks. I’ve bought every possible selection of coffee from every whole bean seller in the area. Now I’m drinking organic, fair trade and bird friendly only. And I think that for a small local roaster, the prices are a little high.
But I’ll probably buy their coffee to sample new blends, just because they are so close to me.

Homestead General Store was an awesome find on a recent mini-​holiday. Aside from what the two previous reviewers have already said, I can offer this additional information:
The patio at the back of the store offered a perfect spot for us to pull up our bikes (there is a lovely path along the canal that runs behind the store), grab a table, and cool off with some chilled beverages.
I ordered an iced coffee and it came with ICE CUBES MADE OF COFFEE!!! Had I not loved the coffee so much that I slurped it down at light speed, I know I would have been pleased that the cubes didn’t water down my brew. As such, I am deeming this THE MOST EXCITING ICED COFFEE I’VE EVER HAD!!! (Hence all the caps and exclamation marks… obviously)
I went back twice the following day, once get my morning jolt with another coffee, and again to pick up some sandwiches before our tubing excursion down the Delaware. Service was friendly each time, and the sandwiches were delicious.
I’d be lying if I said Homestead General Store wasn’t just one of the reasons I’m trying to convince my family to go back for a repeat 4-​day-​weekend.

I discovered this place back in February. I am always on the hunt for new and local roasters in the Bucks County area. When you first walk into the Homestead General Store you are greeted by a lot of action in a little space. Up to the left is the original coffee roaster and bagged coffee or coffee by weight. Straight ahead is the deli counter (past that is an outdoor deck «eating/​sitting» area — and to the left is a «dining» area separated by a brick fireplace. Good sandwiches and decent prices. Anyway on the important part … the coffee …
The owners now roast in the barn behind the actual general store. I got to walk through the barn with the owner (very nice guy — was willing to answer questions about his coffee background, where they source their beans, etc.). Nice operation they have going (Topher roaster) … I have tried: River Valley blend — nice medium roast; Dead Man’s Brew — decent dark roast that can double for both press-​pot or espresso (note: this coffee opens up on the back end and gives it a «bite»); Breakfast Blend — good light-​medium roast to start the day; Black Eddy’s Darkness — dark roast good for espresso; and Homestead’s Own — medium roast good for everyday drip coffee.
Overall I like these guys and what they roast. They do sell in bulk and Similar to House of Coffee in Peddler’s Village have a Buy 6 bags (12 oz) get one free card system going. They have decent pricing most of the different coffee varieties are coming in at about $ 10 for 12 oz. If you are in the area stop in a check them out … and then cross the bridge to Milford, NJ and have a pint at The Ship Inn. That’s a good day right there …

Homestead Coffee Roasters located at the Homestead General Store in Upper Black Eddy roasts organic and fair trade coffees in small batches to insure freshness and great flavor. I think I’ve tried them all and I particularly like their River Valley Blend. Yummy.
