About
Zekes Coffee operates as a premium small batch coffee roastery and retail establishment in Baltimore, Maryland, serving the food and beverage industry since 2005. Founded by Thomas Rhodes, this family-owned business has grown from a single farmers market stand to multiple cafe locations across Baltimore and Washington DC, while maintaining its commitment to artisanal coffee production. The company specializes in fluid bed coffee roasting using advanced Sivetz roasting technology that employs hot air circulation to create uniform, high-quality coffee beans. This innovative roasting method produces a distinctive fountain effect during the roasting process, delivering superior flavor profiles compared to traditional drum roasting techniques. Zekes Coffee manufactures and distributes a comprehensive range of coffee products including conventional blends, sustainable options, seasonal varieties, espresso blends, single origin selections, and both half-caffeinated and decaffeinated alternatives. Operating from their Baltimore facility at 3003 Montebello Terrace, Zekes Coffee serves both retail and wholesale markets through their network of cafes, online platform, and distribution partnerships. The company maintains strict quality control standards throughout their roasting and packaging operations, ensuring consistent product delivery to customers across the Mid-Atlantic region. Their vertically integrated approach encompasses everything from green bean sourcing and roasting to retail sales and wholesale distribution, making them a comprehensive coffee manufacturing and retail operation.
