Discover the North Central Coffee Lab!

Sep 02, 2025

The Coffee Lab @ North Central College is a direct trade bean to cup business, a learning & research lab, and a hub for connections. And now, we believe North Central College is the first campus in the country to roast all of its coffee on-site in a college owned roastery — with students involved every step of the way! Whether you’re sipping the refreshed Cardinal Caffeine blend at K-Man, grabbing your go-to espresso at BoHo, or fueling up at Cardinal Corner, every bean has been carefully roasted right here on campus. Check out our upcoming events including a roasting demonstration during Homecoming and our Fall Market HERE.
