Savor the Stillness: Shooke Coffee Roasters at the Edge of Capitol Reef
There’s a certain kind of magic that happens at the edge of wild places. You feel it in the silence between canyon walls, in the slow swirl of cream into your morning cup, in the way time stretches just a little longer under desert skies.
It’s that same spirit you’ll find in every bag of coffee from Shooke Coffee Roasters, a small-batch operation nestled in Torrey, Utah, just minutes from the entrance to Capitol Reef National Park.
Shooke isn’t your average roaster. It’s a labor of love born from a deep respect for craft, community, and the landscape itself. Named for the founder’s personal mantra, a nod to shaking off the noise and grounding in the moment. Shooke is all about intentional living. The kind of life where you pause, breathe, and truly taste what’s in front of you.
Every roast reflects that ethos. The beans are responsibly sourced, then roasted with a balance of precision and intuition that only comes from deep experience and real passion. Whether it’s their smooth, chocolatey medium roast or a bold, smoky single origin, there’s a clarity to the flavor that mirrors the high-desert air just outside their doors.
For us at Wasatch Gift, including Shooke in our curated baskets was an easy choice. It’s more than coffee, it’s a feeling. It’s a quiet sunrise on red rock, a road trip pull-off with a view, a reminder that the best things are often the simplest.
So next time you're sipping your morning brew, take a moment. Let it transport you to Torrey. To Capitol Reef. To that wide-open feeling only the West can offer.
Because with Shooke, you’re not just drinking coffee.
You’re tasting a place.
