Sound Coffee, known for their freshly roasted, ethically sourced beans, threw its grand opening at its Black Rock location in Bridgeport earlier this month after completing a full renovation. Since 2023, they’ve been serving the Bridgeport community from their cozy cafe at their roastery on Main Street– now, they’re excited to welcome even more coffee lovers with the opening of their new spacious cafe on Fairfield Avenue

Sound Coffee is run by husband and wife, Jeff and Sarah Roy, who were inspired to showcase their passion for quality coffee after honing their roasting skills at home. Their journey began when Jeff received a simple Christmas gift of a roasting at home coffee kit from his mother in law. In 2020 the Roy’s began roasting and selling out of their garage to neighbors and farmers markets before opening their first location on Main Street in Bridgeport.

A mere forty days ago, Harrison Knowles decided to quit his corporate job and start his mobile coffee business– MANIFEST Coffee + Community. Based in Knowles’ own neighborhood of East Norwalk, MANIFEST focuses on developing relationships with customers and creating a welcoming environment where everyone can express themselves freely over the highest quality of beverages.

In addition to the focus on community, Knowles ensures his customers get the highest possible quality beverages, as he personally sourced his vendors from the New York Coffee Fest. MANIFEST uses Ilse coffee which is based in North Canaan Connecticut, as well as Ghost Town Oats oat milk, and Transcendence coffee syrups which are formulated with only three ingredients and all natural flavors.
