Our History
 
  In 1996, Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters, Inc. (FLCR) first opened its doors on the banks of the Erie Canal in Historic Bushnell's Basin, New York. Bob Cowdery, the Roastmaster, has roasted coffee for many years in various locations. With this experience and the ability to roast in small batches,

he and his partner, Larry Werges, are able to transform green coffee beans imported from around the world into rich aromatic coffees. Bob and Larry's passion for the perfect cup can be experienced in all of FLCR's blends, single origins, and flavored coffees offered.

Coffees are blended so the best characteristics of the different beans will complement each other. FLCR offers three unique blends that are very popular with the daily customers as well as many restaurants and cafe's throughout the Finger Lakes Region.

  The Canandaigua Blend named after the most popular and some say the most beautiful lake in the Finger Lakes, is the most sought after blend because of its full body and full flavor. The Seneca Blend is named after the deepest (over 600 feet deep) and darkest lake in the Finger Lakes. The coffee is a dark, smooth blend without the sharpness of a French Roast. Bob and Larry also offer their signature Lake Blend, FLCR's feature house coffee. Customers enjoy this mild, medium bodied coffee offered anytime of day in our stores.
 

In February of 2001, FLCR opened the doors to its second retail store and wholesale warehouse facility in Farmington, New York. This location features the "wall of beans". This wall holds over 3000 pounds of freshly roasted coffee for customers to buy and enjoy not only in our stores, but in their homes as well. FLCR's new warehouse facility features a state-of-the-art roasting and packaging operation. It is capable of producing over 20,000 pounds of beans per week to meet the demand of their ever-expanding wholesale business.
