The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Stone Street Coffee began in New York City in 2005. Chris Masterjohn started the roastery on Stone Street in Lower Manhattan. They roast and sell whole bean coffee. Their signature roast, New York Dark, established the brand's reputation early. The roastery sits blocks from the New York Stock Exchange. Today Stone Street operates multiple locations across the Northeast. Their coffee appears in grocery stores and cafes throughout the region. Among 21,133 tracked brands, Stone Street ranks seventeenth in Food, Beverages & Snacks. The company built its following on consistent roasting and proximity to Manhattan's commuter base. Dark roasts remain their strongest category.
