Meadow Blues Coffee was a much-needed shop in the Chester community. They had been thinking of a casual, family-friendly space to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, pastries, and listen to some sweet blue tunes.
They looked around, and couldn’t find anything like that in Chester, so they created Meadow Blues.

Their coffee is roasted by Coffee Labs, located in Tarrytown. Their practices working with coffee farmers of different origin is exactly what they were looking for in a roaster. They care about sustainability, they have good coffee relationships with the farmers, and visit the different origins about twice a year.

Meadow Blues is a monument to their love for Blues music. With music growing more diverse by the day, and the world quickening its pace, they wanted to make sure there was a place where our roots aren’t being forgotten. Where the Blues can live for years to come.

They are located at 8 Greycourt Ave. They serve coffee, tea, smoothies, craft beer, wine, and cider YOUR CHOICE. The Meadow Blues bites and pastries are lip-smack'n that pair well with the Signature Drinks.
