Little Wolf Coffee

Little Wolf sits on High Street in Ipswich, about forty minutes north of Boston, with a Probat UG22 roaster tucked behind garage doors next to the cafe. Chris and Melissa started roasting in 2016 and named the program after their Siberian husky, River. The lineup leans light roast, with pour over as the bar's calling card alongside espresso. Mornings draw Ipswich locals, North Shore commuters heading toward Boston, and weekend visitors who drove up to walk Crane Beach and stopped in for a cup. The cafe carries higher end brewing gear, mugs, and bags alongside the drinks, the kind of side merch that signals the owners actually use it. Order a pour over of a current single origin if you came to taste what a small North Shore roaster does with a light hand. Order a cappuccino if you want the cup the Ipswich regulars order without looking at the menu.
