Our history
Be kind and rewind
It all began in New York, where Diana and Aurélien lived for some fifteen years. It was in the Clinton Hill neighborhood, among other places, that they discovered coffee shops and specialty coffee, frequenting places like Brooklyn Roasting Company, BKG Coffee Roasters, Peck's...
On their return to France, they opened a coffee shop named after the Brooklyn neighborhood where they lived. Located on Rue Pascal near Place de la Victoire in Clermont-Ferrand, it was the landmark for all the city's coffee aficionados, expats and friends alike!
The coffee shop was sold at the end of 2022, but like the phoenix rising from its ashes, Clinton Hill returned in 2023 as a roastery.

Test and learn
Over the last few years in our coffee shop, we've had the opportunity to taste dozens of different coffees from roasters all over France, and in the end, we've narrowed it down to just a few. Each time, we adapted different parameters such as the fineness of the grind or the extraction method. This was an opportunity to broaden our palette of tastes and create solid references.
In our artisanal roasting, we adopted a similar approach, roasting a wide range of origins, testing different temperatures and cooking times for each sample. The result is our current selection of very different, yet complementary coffees.
Our expertise
Shake and bake
We roast in small batches every week to guarantee maximum freshness. After each artisanal roasting, the coffees are packaged by us in sachets with valve. Our packets include all the important information specific to each coffee, such as origin, variety, process, tasting notes and roasting date.
