Our story
Owned by the people who pour it.
Morning Bell is a worker-owned and worker-run roastery and cafe. We bring in great-tasting beans from all over the world and roast them fresh, right here on Main Street.
Our cafe is small on purpose. Every drink is made by hand with coffee roasted in-house, our own syrups, and teas from our downtown neighbor Little Woods Herbs & Teas.
In-houseEvery bean roasted on site, then brewed or bagged for you.
7 daysOpen 7 AM to 5 PM, every day of the week.
