When Fairfield residents Stephanie Salomon and Amanda Subashi found themselves juggling the demands of five kids, four dogs and never enough hours in the day, they realized they weren’t the only ones running on caffeine—and running out of time. What began as a daily search for good coffee quickly turned into a bold idea: What if they could bring high-quality, organic cold brew right to people’s doors?
That’s how Roast Runner was born.
“We were frustrated with the lack of organic cold-brew options that were actually convenient,” says Salomon. “Everything was either packed with preservatives, sitting on a store shelf, or just didn’t taste right.”
So the two friends took matters into their own hands, crafting a cold brew that not only tastes incredible but also aligns with their values: clean ingredients, sustainable packaging and a seamless delivery system.
With Roast Runner, customers simply head to roastrunner.com, select a bottle size—from 32 ounces to a family-friendly 128 ounces—and choose a delivery day: Tuesday or Friday morning. The cold brew arrives fresh at your doorstep, and the empty bottles from the week before are picked up for reuse. It’s simple, sustainable, and built for real life.
“We built Roast Runner for people like us,” says Subashi. “Busy parents, professionals, students—anyone who loves great coffee but doesn’t have the time to chase it down every morning.”
The pricing is refreshingly straightforward:
• 32-oz. for $27
• 64-oz. for $52
• 96-oz. for $77
• 128-oz. for $99
Behind each bottle is a business powered by more than caffeine—Roast Runner is fueled by friendship, community, and a commitment to making daily life a little easier (and tastier).
As Stephanie and Amanda like to say: “We’re just two moms who got tired of bad coffee and built something better.”
And with Roast Runner on the rise, it’s safe to say that something really good is brewing.
