Alakef Coffee Roasters is a wholesale coffee roaster based in Duluth, Minnesota, serving cafes, shops, and restaurants across the Midwest, with a nationwide reach through its online store. The company traces its origins to 1990, when the founders began roasting at home and later established a dedicated facility on Superior Street, a move completed in 2000. Its roasting approach centers on craft and consistency, with daily cupping and roasting to order to ensure quality and freshness. The sourcing emphasis includes organic, shade-grown beans, with certifications such as Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade, and the facility is USDA organic certified.

In 2016 the company introduced City Girl Coffee, a brand focused on beans from women-owned or women-run farms, with a portion of proceeds directed to organizations that empower women in coffee production. In 2020 the business expanded its offices to the Duluth address at 1330 East Superior Street, signaling growth and increased capacity. The organization operates with a small-to-mid-sized team and maintains a commitment to personal attention for its wholesale customers and suppliers.
