Every roaster has a story, and this one starts in St. Petersburg, Florida, where Roast To Order began (then know as No Name Java) back in 2004. Saint Pete’s Dark Secret is a nod to those early days—a blend so bold and smooth it went from quiet experiment to customer favorite almost overnight.
This dark roast is built from Latin American, Indonesian and African beans, roasted slow and deep to bring out chocolate richness, a touch of smoky sweetness, and a silky finish. It’s bold enough to satisfy dark roast fans, yet smooth enough to win over the “not usually a dark roast” crowd.
And the secret? Freshness. We roast this blend only after you order and ship within 24 hours, so you get the bold character without the bitterness of beans left sitting on a shelf.

Some of the best I’ve had
St. Pete’s dark secret was recommended and now it’s the only coffee I buy. Love how smooth this coffee tastes, and no bitter taste.

Family and friends give me coffee for Christmas - all kinds from good (occasionally) very average (usually) to horrible. I try and drink most of it. It's finally all gone and I'm back to my SPDS. Damn it's good.
I’m a permanent, passionate customer of No Name Java AKA Roast to Order
I’m a permanent customer of No Name Java AKA Roast to Order because of their Brazilian de-caffeinated beans. The aroma creates my daily wake-up, so necessary the smallest coffee pot travels. Dad’s Favorite is my go-to for 1 precious scoop of caffeination per pot.
This is my first caffeinated Cerrado in place of Dad’s - the effect is an obvious smoother, less acidic, more mellow presence. These beans would be perfect for an afternoon cup (if only I could!)

Just buy it
It is excellent coffee! Especially for an espresso machine. It's also great for a French press.
