Introducing Southside Select
After months of preparation, Charles & Faust are proud to announce our first coffee roast. The Southside Select! Authentic diner style coffee from the state known as the diner capital of the world, New Jersey. Modeled after the exact formula served up at a small diner by the shore in the 1990s. The Southside Select is a medium roast coffee with a rich and complex flavor profile sure to delight veterans of diner style coffee and newcomers alike.
History Behind Our Roast
The Charles & Faust Southside Select roast proudly continues the legacy of a pivotal piece of Mid-Atlantic American coffee culture. In the midst of the 1990s New Jersey diner scene, the Southside Diner opened its doors near the shore in Toms River, NJ. This bustling little spot served its loyal patrons until the start of the millennium. The food was exceptional, but the legendary coffee experience was unmatched. While the owner of the Southside Diner left business ownership over twenty years ago, his son RJ Charles now confidently carries forward the family story that had long since been relegated to memory.
Purpose Behind Our Roast
The Southside Select roast is a warm tribute to those who work tirelessly in the American service industry. These individuals often perform their duties without receiving the gratitude they deserve, yet their contributions are essential to our daily lives. While some of these positions are rarely honored, we believe it’s time to shine a light on these unsung heroes (and their families). We offer this roast as a small token of our appreciation and encourage others to recognize and value the immense contributions these individuals make to keeping our society running smoothly each and every day.
