Before COVID-19, ROAST RIDER was a human hub with infectious energy. Dreams, ideas, and stories came to life and flourished. That feels like forever ago.
Now, with our expanded food menu, new Red Mill location, and a mobile coffee cart in the works, we find new ways to bring Roast to life for the community.
Riddlecon is a first. It’s a live riddle competition (think: Your Trivia Team on Riddles) driven by an app we helped develop. Riddlecon is where kids form teams to solve original riddles, engage with friends and family, drink fancy drinks, and win prizes.
At our new location on General Booth Blvd, we created a game parlor with a community puzzle table. A tea garden designed by Lily, Beatriz, and Farmer John of Drishti Compost will sprout June ‘26. We have designed riddles to complement the garden’s herbs and other features.
Both spaces are open to themed pop-ups, special occasions, and professional group meetings. When asked, we give young musicians a platform. We feel a sense of pride when we witness these talented high school students go away to college, flourish, and return years later to perform.
