About Us
The Rook and Key opened its’ first storefront in 1928 in San Francisco, California. While its’ primary focus was on the sale of rare and hard-to-find books, hard times forced the owners to diversify into more popular books, and then into an attached coffee shop. Since then, it has only grown, and in 2020, they opened up their third storefront in Carmel, California, their most popular venture yet.
In 2023, they decided to make a few of their premium coffee blends available for online purchase, driving the idea of an online storefront.
