Craftsman Cliff Roasters

Craftsman Cliff Roasters is a micro-roastery located at 211 Main Street in historic downtown Norwich, Connecticut, specializing in Fair Trade, organic coffee, cacao, and handcrafted chocolate. Founded by Matthew, the business draws on Norwich’s deep-rooted history in American coffee and chocolate — tracing back to colonial entrepreneur Christopher Leffingwell — and carries that legacy forward with a commitment to chemical-free, sustainably sourced beans roasted on-site. Their hot chocolate has been declared the official beverage of the City of Norwich, and the business is recognized for its strong community ethos, supporting local partnerships and emphasizing fair compensation for the farmers who grow their products responsibly.
