Welcome to Kafiex Roasters

At Kafiex Roasters, we're on a mission to "Redefine your relationship with coffee." Founded in Vancouver, WA, by Matthew and Seidy, our journey began at local farmers markets and has blossomed into a renowned roastery known for its exceptional coffees and commitment to quality. From the careful selection of beans to the artful roasting process, every step is designed to elevate your coffee experience. Join us as we share our passion for great coffee, community involvement, and sustainable practices that positively impact both the environment and our community.


Our Story

The seeds of Kafiex Roasters were planted at local farmers markets where the rich aromas of our freshly roasted coffee first began to draw a crowd. Founded in 2018 by coffee enthusiasts and life partners, Matthew and Seidy, our roastery quickly evolved from a weekend passion to a full-fledged craft coffee establishment in the heart of Vancouver, WA.

Matthew, a certified Q-Arabica Grader, has placed highly at the United States Roasting Championships, securing 5th in 2023 and 4th in 2024. Seidy, equally skilled, took 8th place in the United States Barista Championships in 2024. These achievements reflect our deep commitment to coffee excellence.

From our inception, our goal was clear: to deliver an exceptional coffee experience. This commitment is evident in every batch we roast and every cup we serve. Alongside our dedicated team, we've cultivated a collection of coffees that represent the best of both traditional and innovative roasting techniques.

As you explore our history, you’ll encounter snapshots from our early days at the markets, our achievements in national competitions, and a glimpse into the daily hustle of our bustling roastery. Each image and story is a testament to our journey and the vibrant community that has grown with us.

Join us as we continue to craft, innovate, and redefine what it means to enjoy a cup of coffee.


Community Engagement

At Kafiex Roasters, our connection to the community extends beyond the coffee cup. We proudly host the annual Cold Brew Fest in Esther Short Park, a much-anticipated event that brings together coffee lovers from across the Pacific Northwest. Here, attendees can savor some of the finest cold brews, engage with expert baristas, and vote for their favorites in a friendly competition. This festival not only celebrates the rich culture of coffee but also educates the public about coffee's journey from bean to brew.

Our commitment to the community is also reflected in our educational initiatives. We regularly conduct workshops and seminars aimed at demystifying the coffee-making process, promoting sustainable practices, and highlighting the nuances of coffee tasting and appreciation. These events are designed to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of coffee, encouraging a more mindful consumption among our patrons.

Furthermore, we actively participate in local and national coffee events, showcasing our products and sharing our knowledge with a broader audience. Through these activities, we aim to create a lasting impact on the coffee community and contribute positively to its growth and development.
