Congregation Coffee Roasters, the artisanal coffee roaster that supplied local restaurants and supermarkets with its high-end gourmet coffee, has closed its popular Algiers Point café days after notifying customers it was ending its home delivery subscription service.
In an email statement, Congregation founder and owner Eliot Guthrie said he continues negotiating with a potential buyer — a local group interested in acquiring all aspects of the business — and hopes if and when a deal is finalized that the new owner will reopen the café.

"Depending on how long this deal takes to finalize, the café may have to shutter temporarily until everything is ironed out," Guthrie said. "I am committed to finding somebody who wants to take the café on, whether it's the aforementioned deal or somebody else."
Congregation Coffee had a devoted following of local subscribers who would buy Congregation’s artisanal coffees in 12-ounce, 2-pound and 5-pound quantities, which were delivered to their door.
Guthrie started the roastery in 2015 and opened the café two years later. Grocery stores, including Whole Foods, carried its products, as did a number of area restaurants, including Brennan’s.
The café's last day was Sunday.
