Eiland Coffee Roasters is a roastery and storefront located in Richardson, founded by its namesake Clay Eiland in 1998. The shop sources the raw beans from La Manita, roasts and packages them at their location. Roasting at Eiland starts at 5 a.m. daily, two hours before the storefront opens.
Peaberry Coffee was founded by Elijah Salazar in 2019, using beans from Eilands to make their drinks.
“I saw potential to open a proper neighborhood shop of our own. I wanted to make something the neighborhood could be especially proud of and call their own.”
Salazar began experimenting to create a signature, recognizable flavor for Peaberry.
“I’ve loved being able to delve deeper into the craft aspect of coffee even more. Making our own syrups or creating our own signature drinks is the fun part.”
Peaberry’s signature drink is the Oat Cliff, consisting of espresso, oat milk and simple syrup; specially proportioned to accentuate nutty and sweet flavors.
“We also offer the Oat Cliff with a single origin espresso featuring Sidamo-Ardi, a natural processed Ethiopian coffee that adds a fruity element of strawberry. Sidamo-Ardi is a fan favorite and can often be found offered as drip coffee.”
