Founded in 1992, Rock City Coffee (formerly Second Read Books & Coffee) has provided the Midcoast with excellent coffee, tea, and food (as well as books until 2011). In 1999, we opened Rock City Coffee Roasters to offer the finest quality, freshest-roasted coffee possible. We have been a major force in the renaissance of Rockland, and we have been proud to help it grow into a leading art center and travel destination, as well as a better place to live and work. Our goal in our stores is to help develop and enhance the quality of life in Rockland and the surrounding community through our support of humanitarian causes, arts and education, and the environment. In addition to making individual contributions to the development of community, we provide comfortable meeting places that emphasize quality and foster conversation, creativity, and learning. Our goal is to make our customers feel special and valuable in a less-than-perfect world where people are increasingly disenfranchised and isolated from their communities.
