Good Life Coffee Roasters grew from a Helsinki café venture that Lauri Pipinen opened in 2012, eventually establishing the dedicated roastery in 2014. Lauri, a three time Finnish barista champion, brings championship pedigree to the operation and has competed in the World Coffee Championships representing Finland. The roastery's philosophy is straightforward and unpretentious: source and roast coffee that is fresh, tasty, and easy to drink. Over the years, the roastery has evolved from a small neighborhood café into an award-winning operation, earning the title of Best Roaster at the Nordic Coffee Fest in 2024.
