Debelle’s Roastery is Raleigh, North Carolina’s only women-owned roastery dedicated to air-roasted coffee.

Located in Raleigh, North Carolina, Debelle’s Roastery began as a simple idea that kept us up late at night and wouldn’t let go. What started as a dream quickly grew into something bigger than we ever imagined — a small batch coffee roastery rooted in care, curiosity, and connection.

We’re women who believe coffee is more than a drink — it’s a feeling.

One that creates pause, sparks conversation, and brings people together. It’s how strangers become familiar and quiet moments turn meaningful.

That belief guides every step of our process, from working with small, family-owned farms to air-roasting each batch with care and precision. As a Raleigh coffee roaster, we focus on freshness, roasting to order so every cup delivers clean flavor and a smoother finish.

We take our craft seriously, while leaving room for curiosity, growth, and joy.

As hands-on coffee roasters, we’re always learning, always evolving, and deeply committed to bringing you fresh roasted coffee that feels as good as it tastes.

For us, coffee isn’t just part of a routine. It’s a shared experience — and we’re honored to be part of yours.

More Than Just Coffee

We believe coffee should be intentional.

We started this roastery to slow things down and do coffee the right way. As a small batch coffee roaster, we focus on thoughtful sourcing, careful roasting, and real relationships at every step. Coffee isn’t just a product to us — it’s part of daily life, community, and connection.

Our goal is simple: to roast fresh coffee you’re proud to serve and share. Coffee made with care, purpose, and respect for where it comes from. When you choose our coffee, you’re choosing intention and a slower way of doing things.

Our Values

Transparency

We believe people should know where their coffee comes from and how it’s made. We’re open about our sourcing, our process, and our pricing because trust matters.

Collaboration

The best things are built together. We value working closely with farmers, partners, and local businesses to create something better than we could on our own.

Community

Coffee has a way of bringing people together. We’re here for the conversations, the shared moments, and the spaces coffee helps create both locally and beyond.

Why we Started Debelles Roastery 

Two backgrounds. One shared vision.

Isabelle and Deb met through their husbands, who served together in the Marine Corps. They connected quickly, and coffee was always part of the conversation. Isabelle brought deep roasting knowledge and technical expertise, while Deb was drawn to the experience of coffee and the way it brings people together.

Those early conversations grew into a bigger idea: to build a small batch coffee roastery rooted in intention, sustainability, and quality. Choosing an air roaster was an easy decision. Air-roasted coffee allows for cleaner roasting, better consistency, and aligns with their shared focus on health, freshness, and flavor.

Today, Debelle’s Roastery is a women-owned Raleigh coffee roaster built with care and purpose. It’s a brand designed to grow over time—and a coffee they’re proud to share with the Raleigh community and beyond. What started as a shared idea has grown into a roastery built on intention, care, and community — and they’re  just getting started.

    Hey y’all, I’m Deb.

    I’m originally from New York, but North Carolina has been home since 2014, when my husband joined the Marine Corps. Along the way, we’ve lived a few different lives in places like Allentown, Philadelphia, and Puerto Rico before finally settling in Raleigh.

    These days, you’ll usually find me roasting coffee, spending time with my little family, working on my yoga practice, or serving coffee at our local church. Community has always mattered to me, and coffee has a funny way of bringing people together in the spaces that matter most.

    My earliest memory of coffee goes back to visiting my grandparents in Puerto Rico. No matter how late our flight arrived, we were always welcomed with warm buttered bread and a cup of coffee. That feeling of comfort, care, and connection stayed with me.

    Coffee has been a constant through every season of my life — most memorably when my daughter was born at 26 weeks and spent time in the NICU. Part of her daily care included caffeine to help treat apnea of prematurity. She’s been full of energy ever since, and I like to think coffee had something to do with it.

  • Isabelle

    Co-Founder & Roaster

    Hi, I’m Isabelle.

    I’m originally from West Virginia and moved to North Carolina in 2012. I met my husband a few years later, and North Carolina has felt like home ever since.

    I didn’t plan on getting into coffee roasting — it happened almost by accident. I was looking for something to keep me busy and ended up completely nerding out over the entire process. What started as curiosity turned into a deep appreciation for the craft. There’s something fascinating about taking something so raw and transforming it into one of the most loved beverages in the world.

    When I’m not roasting coffee, I’m a student working toward my bachelor’s degree in economics. I spend my breaks outdoors and enjoy slow days with a hot cup of coffee in hand. I love the balance between learning, creating, and staying present — and coffee fits right into all of it.
