Café · Coffee roaster

Small-batch coffee, big-lake mornings.

Single-origin beans roasted in Troutman and pulled behind the bar within a week. Pastries from Charlotte, plants everywhere, and the best porch on the water.

Our story

Started by the lake, still run from the dock.

Michelle and Tom roasted their first 1-lb batch on a sample roaster in a spare bedroom in 2017. By 2019 they’d outgrown the kitchen and opened a 14-seat café on Main Street. Today Dockside roasts for a dozen restaurants up and down I-77, but the coffee you drink in our café is still chosen each morning by whoever is pulling shots. That’s on purpose.
