Golden State Coffee was founded in 2012 as a roasting operation in Southern California, spending its first seven years focused on distribution before opening a location in Placentia, Orange County, in 2019. The roastery is led by Eric Scott, who built the business on specialty grade sourcing and a philosophy that supports both traditional and progressive approaches to coffee preparation. Golden State also offers consulting services, equipment supply, and water filtration guidance, extending its expertise to the broader coffee community. It is a roaster that understands the industry from multiple angles, not just the bean.
