About RoastBridge, and who runs it.

A café doesn’t make its coffee; it brews what its roaster made. Comparing wholesale roasters takes time, and a coffee that tastes right can still be a poor fit on price, minimums, delivery or support. Roasters face the same problem from the other side, growing one café account at a time.

RoastBridge sits between the two. We confirm the fit with both sides, make one direct, briefed introduction, and the café tastes the roaster’s coffee before committing to anything. Read how it works for cafés and for roasters.

RoastBridge was founded by Hassan Abaid, who handles every brief personally. RoastBridge is run remotely: the work happens by email, with an optional short call when it helps, and roasters usually ship samples directly to cafés, so neither side needs to be near us.

Both sides pay upfront, before the introduction: cafés pay a $1,000 sourcing fee per match, and roasters pay a $1,500 sourcing fee per introduction. We make one introduction at a time. Both sides sign a short one-page fee agreement with RoastBridge before paying, and we tell both sides how we’re paid, including that the other side also pays, what was confirmed, and the roaster’s sample terms before anyone pays. Coffee, shipping and samples are agreed and paid directly between café and roaster. If an introduction clearly misses what was agreed and no replacement is available, the fee is refunded, less any payment-processing fees we were charged.

Our fees changed on November 4, 2026. If we emailed you before then and said there was nothing to pay upfront, we’ll keep to what we told you: you pay nothing upfront, and the fee is due only when the introduced café places its first order. That is $500 for a café, and for a roaster $750 at the first order plus $750 if the café reorders within 90 days. Your signed agreement will say so.

Because both sides can pay us, we don’t claim to be neutral. We keep the arrangement visible instead: nothing is introduced until both sides pass the same four checks, and neither side is obliged to work with the other.

RoastBridge is early-stage and is building its first network of cafés and roasters. We don’t publish invented customer counts, testimonials, or deals we haven’t completed, and we won’t claim a track record we don’t have.
