The Best Blueberry Coffee from Small Roasters
Eight bags that taste like blueberries, from small roasters in Maine, Wisconsin, Washington and California. Plus one grocery store classic we can't leave off.



Here's the short answer: the best blueberry coffee depends on whether you want the blueberry to come from the beans or from flavoring. If you drink your coffee black, start with a natural process Ethiopian like Wonderstate's Ethiopia Alo Bombe or Black Oak's Ethiopia Banko Natural, which taste like blueberry with nothing added. If you want blueberry in every cup all year, Coffee By Design's Maine Wild Blueberry is the flavored pick from a small roaster. And if you're after the coffee you remember from a college dorm, Green Mountain Wild Mountain Blueberry is still on grocery shelves.
We haven't tasted these bags ourselves yet. The tasting notes below come from each roaster and from Coffee Review's blind cuppings, and prices and stock were checked in October 2026. Single-origin coffees sell out and come back with each harvest, so check the roaster before you buy.
Two Kinds of Blueberry Coffee
Natural process coffee: blueberry from the bean
Most of the world's coffee is washed, which means the fruit around the bean is stripped off before drying. In the natural process, the whole coffee cherry dries in the sun with the bean still inside. The bean sits in that fruit for weeks, and the cup picks up a jammy, fruity sweetness you can't get any other way.
Ethiopia is where this tastes most like blueberry. Naturals from the Guji, Yirgacheffe and Sidama areas are famous for it, and roasters often list blueberry as the first tasting note. These are usually light or medium-light roasts, because a dark roast covers up the fruit. If you drink your coffee black and want blueberry without any added flavor, start here.
These coffees are seasonal. Each lot comes from one harvest, so a bag you love in October may sell out by spring. When that happens, most roasters bring in a new Ethiopian natural from the next harvest.
Flavored blueberry coffee: blueberry in every cup
Flavored coffee starts with roasted beans, then the roaster adds a blueberry flavoring. The result is louder and more predictable. You smell blueberry the second you open the bag, and it tastes the same from one bag to the next, all year long.
Flavored coffee gets a bad reputation because a lot of it uses cheap beans to hide behind the flavoring. The two flavored picks below come from roasters who start with specialty beans and keep the flavor light. If you like your coffee with cream, or you want that blueberry muffin smell filling the kitchen, these are for you.

Blueberry from the Bean: Natural Ethiopian Coffees
Six coffees that taste like blueberry with no flavoring added. We may earn a commission when you buy through some of our links, at no extra cost to you.

Wonderstate calls this lot a radiant example of Ethiopia's famous blueberry profile, and blueberry is the first note on the bag. The cup opens with juicy blueberries and Concord grape, then settles into a long finish of cooked peach. It's a natural, so the beans dried inside the whole coffee cherry, and nothing is added.
Wonderstate roasts in Viroqua, Wisconsin, and used to be called Kickapoo Coffee Roasters. This one is sold as whole beans only, in 100 g, 250 g, 1.5 lb and 5 lb bags. The 100 g bag ($14.75) is an easy way to try it before buying a bigger one.

"Supernatural" is the name for how this lot is processed. Smallholder farmers in Banko Chelchele, Yirgacheffe, seal whole coffee cherries in carbon fiber drums for up to 10 days to ferment, then dry them on raised beds at about 7,500 feet. That long fermentation pushes the fruit even further than a regular natural.
Coffee Review gave it 93 points and picked out ripe strawberry, blueberry compote and candied lime zest, with jasmine and cocoa nib behind them. The roaster's own notes lean toward stone fruit, strawberry, rose and powdered sugar, with a creamy, silky body. It won a 2026 Good Food Award. Drink Coffee Do Stuff roasts in Truckee, California, near Lake Tahoe, and sells it in 11 oz bags (whole bean or ground) plus discounted 2 lb and 5 lb bags.

Coffee Review scored this one 92 in September 2026, the newest review on the list. The blind tasting found blueberry, black cherry, dried apricot, lavender and baking chocolate, with a full, velvety body. Indaba's own notes add sweet honey, raspberry, milk chocolate and nuts.
It's an heirloom natural from the Banti Nenka area of Guji, grown at 2,250 to 2,300 meters and roasted light (City+) to keep the fruit in front. Indaba recommends it for pour-over, drip or a Fellow Aiden. It comes in 12 oz and 2 lb bags, whole bean or ground, and each bag funds a meal through Indaba's 2nd Harvest Food Bank partnership. Indaba is a family-owned roaster and café in Spokane, Washington.

Black Oak says the roasted beans smell like a strawberry milkshake, and the strawberry carries into the cup with creamy milk chocolate. As it cools, blueberry and blackberry come forward, along with dark amber honey, honeysuckle and rose.
The coffee comes from the Banko Gotiti mill in Ethiopia, which buys from about 600 smallholder farmers growing at 6,300 to 7,600 feet. This lot is made of two named Ethiopian varieties, 74110 and 74112, and was dried in the cherry on raised beds. Black Oak has been roasting in Ukiah, California, since 2012 and has won the Golden Bean North America championship twice. It comes in 12 oz, 2 lb and 5 lb bags, whole bean or ground for drip.

This is the one New England micro roaster in the bean-driven group. Dan Dishner, a retired teacher and photographer, started Coffee on the Porch in Camden, Maine, as a blending hobby. He roasts about ten pounds at a time, and orders ship within days of roasting.
Blueberry Mountain blends Central American coffees from Guatemala and Honduras with a natural Ethiopian, and there's no added flavoring. The blueberry comes from the Ethiopian beans. Expect a bright, crisp cup with a mild front, a thin body and a tart, fruity finish. It comes in 12 oz, 2 lb and 5 lb bags, and you can also find it at more than 40 shops around Midcoast Maine.

Colectivo built Indigo to show off the blueberry notes natural Ethiopian coffees are known for. Because it's a blend and not a single harvest lot, it stays on the menu longer than most coffees here. The listed notes are citrus, milk chocolate and blueberry, and Colectivo also describes dark chocolate, cranberry and baking spices.
It's a light roast that comes whole bean, coarse or drip ground, in 12 oz or 5 lb bags. Shipping is free over $45, and new subscribers get 10% off the first shipment. Colectivo is a Milwaukee roaster and a bit bigger than the others on this list, but it's still independent.
Blueberry Flavored Coffee from Small Roasters
Two flavored coffees from roasters who start with good beans and keep the blueberry light.

Coffee By Design has been roasting in Portland, Maine, since 1994, when Mary Allen Lindemann and Alan Spear opened on Congress Street. For their flavored coffees, they start with South American beans picked for natural sweetness, roast them light-medium to bring that out, then add a light blueberry flavor.
It comes in 16 oz, 2 lb and 5 lb bags, as whole beans or ground for anything from a percolator to espresso, and there's a decaf version at the same price. You can set it up as a subscription every 2, 4, 6 or 8 weeks. Coffee By Design roasts to order, is a certified B Corp, and won Roast Magazine's 2020 Large Roaster of the Year.

CoffeeAM roasts in small batches and ships the same day it roasts. Their blueberry coffee leads with a ripe berry smell and finishes sweet and a little tangy. CoffeeAM says the flavor is there to go with the coffee and not cover it up.
You can get it in 8 oz, 1 lb and 5 lb bags, as whole beans, drip grind or French press grind, and in decaf. It holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 184 reviews. CoffeeAM doesn't say whether the flavoring is natural or artificial, so ask them if that matters to you.
The Grocery Store Blueberry Coffee
One big-brand bag we can't leave off the list.

Every list has an exception, and this is ours. Our editor went to college at Castleton in Vermont, and most of his papers got written next to a drip pot of Green Mountain blueberry. It's a grocery store coffee from a giant brand, and we know it. It also smells like a blueberry pie coming out of the oven, and for a lot of New Englanders it's the coffee that started everything.
Wild Mountain Blueberry is a light roast inspired by fresh blueberry pie. The 12 oz ground bag lists natural and artificial flavors on the label, while the K-Cup boxes say naturally flavored, so read the package if that matters to you. It's easy to find at grocery stores across the Northeast, and online as K-Cups.
How to Brew Blueberry Coffee So the Fruit Shows Up
Keep the water just off the boil
Fruit notes are the first thing to go when coffee is over-extracted. For the natural Ethiopians, try water around 190 to 200°F. Black Oak suggests that range for its Banko Natural, with a 1:16 to 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio and a medium grind, which is a good starting point for every natural on this list.
Pour-over and drip show off the blueberry best
A paper filter gives you a clean cup where the blueberry is easy to pick out. Indaba recommends pour-over, drip or a Fellow Aiden for its Guji natural. A French press gives you more body and a jammier cup, which is great with Colectivo Indigo or Coffee on the Porch's Blueberry Mountain.
Try a natural Ethiopian as espresso
A blueberry natural makes a wild shot of espresso: sweet and fruity, almost like berry syrup, and a latte made with it tastes a lot like a blueberry muffin. Pull it a little longer than your usual ratio so the shot doesn't turn sour. Our guide to the best beans for espresso covers dialing in lighter roasts.
Flavored coffee works with any brewer
Flavored beans are more forgiving. Brew them the way you brew any other coffee. Blueberry flavored coffee also makes good iced coffee, and it pairs well with cream or oat milk.
How We Chose These Coffees
We looked for small and independent roasters that list blueberry as a main tasting note or flavor, sell online in the US, and had the coffee in stock in October 2026. Where Coffee Review had scored a coffee, we used its blind tasting notes alongside the roaster's own. We left out big national brands except for one honorable mention, and we haven't tasted these bags ourselves yet. When roasters send us coffee, we'll add our own notes.
Frequently Asked Questions About Blueberry Coffee
What Is Blueberry Coffee?
Blueberry coffee is any coffee that tastes like blueberries. Some get there naturally: Ethiopian coffees dried inside the whole fruit often taste like blueberry with nothing added. Others are flavored, with blueberry flavoring added after roasting.
Is Blueberry Coffee Good?
Yes, if you like fruit in your cup. Natural Ethiopian blueberry coffees score well in blind tastings, and two on this list earned 92 and 93 points from Coffee Review. Flavored blueberry coffee is sweeter and more predictable, and it's a favorite with cream.
Why Does Ethiopian Coffee Taste Like Blueberry?
It comes from the natural process and Ethiopia's heirloom coffee varieties. When the coffee cherry dries in the sun with the bean still inside, the bean takes on the sweetness of the fruit. Naturals from Guji, Yirgacheffe and Sidama are especially known for blueberry.
Does Green Mountain Still Make Blueberry Coffee?
Yes. Green Mountain Wild Mountain Blueberry is still sold as a 12 oz ground bag and as K-Cups. The ground bag lists natural and artificial flavors, and the K-Cups are labeled naturally flavored.
Do Blueberry Coffee Beans Have Real Blueberries in Them?
No. Flavored blueberry coffee beans get their taste from flavoring, not pieces of fruit. Natural Ethiopian coffees have no blueberries or flavoring at all. The blueberry taste comes from the coffee cherry itself.
What Is the Best Way to Brew Blueberry Coffee?
Pour-over or drip shows the blueberry most clearly in a natural Ethiopian, with water around 190 to 200°F. A French press gives a jammier, heavier cup. Flavored blueberry coffee works in any brewer, including a Keurig or a percolator.
