New England Coffee is New England’s largest independent specialty coffee roaster.[1] It was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1916[2] by Greek immigrants Menelaos and George Kaloyanides.

History[]

In 1916 Greek immigrant brothers Menelaos & George Kaloyanides started the New England Tea & Coffee Company. Originally located in a building at the corner of Milk and Broad Streets in Boston, hand-roasted coffee was delivered by horse and wagon along the streets of Boston. The first gasoline-powered truck was purchased in 1918 and soon after other family members started to join the growing business.
