About US

Lightbrite is on a mission to foster connections between people around coffee, both locally and half a world away. Whether you are ordering a drink in our cafe or brewing our coffee at home, our goal is to brighten your day.

”I had my first light roasted Ethiopian coffee while visiting Kenya… it blew my mind. I had no idea coffee could taste like that, I had to learn more…” - Matt McNeece, Co-Owner, Lightbrite Coffee Roasters - “We work everyday to delight our customers with fresh roasted, vibrant coffees, served up in a warm and welcoming environment.”

”I’ve slowly become a black coffee and espresso drinker, but I love Iced Lattes and Iced Americanos, even when it’s freezing cold outside!” - Megan McNeece, Co-Owner, Lightbrite Coffee Roasters - “I believe there’s room for everyone in specialty coffee, not just the coffee geeks. At Lightbrite we have something for everyone: fun seasonal drinks, amazing black coffee, food truck breakfast burritos, and great tea options too… We’ve worked hard to build a cafe people will love to visit over and over again.”

01 - Producers


SOURCING- Working with importers of integrity has always been a non-negotiable. We can’t make amazing coffee if farmers and producers haven’t first poured in to the seeds. Coffee laborers work hard, so we partner towards a brighter future for all in the supply chain. We pay more for our raw coffees and we seek accountability from importers because we know it makes a difference to the well-being of coffee workers, their children and the beautiful communities they live and work in.

02 - Roasters


ROASTING- We honor the craft of roasting by leveraging our fully manual San Franciscan gas drum roaster. Every step of the roasting process is controlled by hand and a labor of love. We use our hands, nose, ears and eyes to evaluate while roasting- manipulating heat, airflow, temperature and time to bring out the best in every bean.

03 - Customers


BREWING- After all the hard work of producers and roasters it would be a shame for poor brewing to hide a coffees full experience. We believe great brewing doesn’t need to be complicated- let us show you how to make the most of your coffee routine. Talk to one of our baristas or look for the educational events we host from time to time. If you’d like help or advice on brewing, don’t hesitate to reach out, we’d love to hear from you!
