Holiday FAQs
What's your roasting/shipping schedule for the holidays?
We are still roasting our retail orders on Tuesdays. It's really important to us to be able to ship coffee by Thursday so that in most cases it reached its destination by the weekend.
This means that if you place an order after Wednesday at 8am, it will
not be roasted until the following Tuesday. If you need coffee quickly, the Lab always has coffee on the shelves!
**Thanksgiving: We will roast everything on Tuesday, then ship and delivery locally on Wednesday. This allows us to get shipping out the door before the holiday.
**Christmas: All orders need to be placed by December 12th and will ship by December 14th in order to be received by Christmas. We can't
guarantee shipping (as you can understand with the way the world is
right now) in any way. The roastery will be closed the 18th-25th to allow
the roasting crew some time off after the late nights and early mornings that make up the holiday season for them. You can still order online,
but they will not be roasted until December 26th.
What are the Coffee Lab's hours during the holidays?
The Lab in Burwell will be open our regular hours, Monday through Saturday from 7am-2pm, throughout the holiday season! We will be closed Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day only. Come join us for a coffee with your visiting family and friends!
What is the holiday coffee?
Every year, we select a new specialty coffee to feature and enjoy just for the holidays! This year, we're so excited to bring you a delightful medium roast from Costa Rica that we've lovingly called Wonder. It's the perfect coffee to cozy up with and share with your loved ones.
Find all the information about it on its product page here!
Will you have an open house?
Our open house has a special place in our hearts because we hosted this event even before our space was built out. We invited customers and friends in when it was just studs and asked you to make your mark on our space two years before we had a coffee shop. So YES! Our open house is November 18th from 10am-12pm.
We feature specials, the launch of our winter drink menu, and free affogatos! It's the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!
You'll be able to find Open House dates for next year on the Holiday FAQs page and our social media, starting November 1, 2024!

It's the best kind of choose-your-own-adventure.
