About Us
Small-Batch Coffee. Big-Hearted Mission.
Hi, I’m Ryan Cornell, founder of Twin Pikes Roastery.
Our journey began back in 2015, just outside St. Louis, Missouri. I set out to build a small-batch micro-roastery focused on roasting fresh, quality coffee at fair prices — the kind of brew I’d want to drink every morning.
Armed with a 1kg roaster from Mill City and a lot of curiosity, I started roasting, tasting, and learning everything I could about the craft. Not long after, I teamed up with my good friend Matt Macheca, whose support and shared vision helped turn Twin Pikes from a dream into a growing community of coffee lovers.
Our Mission is Simple at Twin Pikes Roastery
To serve our friends, neighbors, and community with high-quality coffee and one-of-a-kind handcrafted beverages.
From 2016 to 2022, we brought that mission to life every summer at the Lake St. Louis Farmers Market, where we shared our passion one cup at a time.
It was there that we found our footing, built lasting relationships, and laid the foundation for what Twin Pikes would become.
Over the Years, Twin Pikes Began to Grow
Thanks to the support of our incredible customers, we were able to open 2 new locations in Missouri.
Louisiana, MO Roastery & Coffee Shop
In March 2022, we opened the doors to our first brick-and-mortar location in Louisiana, MO — a cozy café where locals could gather over a great cup of coffee.
High Ridge, MO Drive Thru
Just one year later, we took another exciting step and expanded into High Ridge, MO, with a brand-new drive-thru opening in May 2023.
A Look Behind the Scenes
Family Behind the Beans
My wife and our children have been my greatest support system. They’ve stood by me through every late-night roast and early market morning — and they’re a big part of why I want to build something lasting, something meaningful we can all be proud of.
The Team Beside Me
Joseph and Sarah have been a huge help as we’ve grown. Sarah mantains our online store, making sure our customers have a great experience. Joseph lends a hand with roasting and handles the maintenance that keeps everything humming — I’m grateful to have them both in the mix.
It's More than Coffee
At Twin Pikes, we’re just as passionate about people as we are about crafting unique, high-quality beverages. Our foundation is built on shared values — faith, family, and tradition — and those roots shape everything we do.
Quality and customer satisfaction aren’t just goals — they’re promises. When you choose us, you’re not just getting a better brew. You’re supporting a business that believes in doing things the right way, for the right reasons.
Because when we thrive, our community does too — and that’s the kind of impact we’re here to make.
