Roasting Beans, Brewing Community
At the heart of our coffee is a story of passion, family, and a relentless pursuit of quality.
Heather and Eric Smith, the husband-and-wife duo behind Golden Glo Roasters, have spent nearly a decade building a reputation for excellence in North Idaho’s coffee scene. Their journey began with a single espresso stand nine years ago—and today, they proudly own and operate several thriving locations across North Idaho.
Heather brings years of experience and a deep knowledge of coffee to the table, personally overseeing daily operations at their stands to ensure every drink meets her high standards. Eric, equally committed, is the master behind the roast—carefully crafting each batch of beans multiple times a week to guarantee freshness and flavor.
Roasting coffee wasn’t just the next step for them—it was a way to create something even better for their loyal customers: a premium blend that’s ethically sourced, hand-picked, and roasted fresh, all at a price that makes sense. To perfect their product, they partnered with a talented team of experts out of Montana, forming a collaboration rooted in quality and shared values.
Golden Glo beans are used daily in their local stands and are quickly becoming a favorite among small businesses and coffee lovers around the world. As a family-owned and operated business, Heather and Eric remain hands-on, involved, and deeply committed to every aspect of what they do.
This is more than just coffee—it’s a product built on trust, hard work, and a love for bringing people the very best.
Our Story of Dedication and Local Flavor
Nine years ago, we brewed our first batch right here, serving robust flavors from local coffee stands. Our journey has always been about more than beans—it is about bringing people together and earning community trust. Each bag we offer—espresso, ground, or whole bean—reflects this commitment.
When we’re not roasting coffee, you can often find us serving it! If you’re ever in the North Idaho area, we’d love for you to stop by one of our Golden Glo Espresso stands. Enjoy handcrafted drinks made with our freshly roasted beans, and say hi to Heather and Eric! Visit the Golden Glo Espresso website to find locations and learn more.
