Our story

Started with one secondhand roaster and a leaky roof.

From garage to harbour

Saltmarsh began when Mara and Tomás dragged a beaten-up drum roaster into a garage two streets from the water. The coffee was good enough that people kept knocking. Five years later we have a proper counter, a bake bench, and the same stubborn belief: do a few things slowly and do them well.

What we stand for

Direct-trade beans, named farms, fair prices both ends. Compostable everything. And a standing rule that nobody gets rushed out of their seat.

Behind the counter

Mara

Roaster & co-founder

Runs the roast log like a ship's captain. Will talk altitude and varietal until close.

Tomás

Baker & co-founder

In before sunrise, flour to the elbows. The cardamom buns are his fault.

Wren

Head barista

Latte art good enough to feel bad about drinking. Knows your order by week two.
