Boston Stoker

Who We Are

Boston Stoker was founded by Don and Sally Dean as a pipe and tobacco shop in Englewood, Ohio in 1973. As a strategy to build their customer base in a new business, the Deans started offering free, freshly brewed specialty coffee to customers while they shopped. It worked for keeping people in the shop and the demand began to grow from more and more people to buy the coffee to take it home, eventually leading Boston Stoker into the specialty coffee industry.

Over the years Boston Stoker has become Dayton’s premiere coffee brand, with a full production schedule and a varied slate of fine coffees that are all carefully selected. Today Boston Stoker remains a family owned and operated company run by the second generation of the Dean family. Boston Stoker roasts more than 150,000 pounds of coffee annually and takes special care to roast each varietal to its peak flavor, in small batches, daily to ensure the freshest product possible.
