Background
Company founded in 2002 by Heidi and Bill Rosati.
Featuring specialty coffee, 50's soda fountain, nostalgic sodas and candy, soup and sandwiches.
Concept built around quality espresso, proud to offer something for everyone!
Keys to Success
Everyone who loves quality coffee usually lives with or knows someone who doesn't. Retro Roast & Foutain was created keeping the favorites of everyone in the family in mind, young, old or right in the middle! Specialty Coffee is the center of attention but especially designed so that what the others like is not treated like and after thought!
Connect with every customer!
Everyone likes to feel like, "Cliff Clavin"!
Special Events
Thursday's Retro Reader! Because kids want to know what people do and moms want to see other moms!
Sometimes the Retro Readers are famous, sometimes they are just local businesses. In any case, kids learn through the readers favorite childrens books, the mom's get a latte and a muffin, the business owners spend 30 minutes with childrens books and prospective customers. We fill the house and an otherwise lull in the action.
Everyone wins!
Target Customers
Coffee lovers of course! Join us in house or in the drive through on your commute!
Challenges Faced
Big ideas, cutting edge barista skills in a rural community! Not to worry! Once you've had great espresso and experienced Retro hospitality, you are only a "stranger" to us once!
Where We're Headed
Big time! Baristas who are competitive in Latte Art competitions! Working hard to bring West Coast & East Coast quality to suburban Minneapolis!
