About Us

Trent Lundberg, Owner

When Backroom’s founder accepted a job offer in Colorado, close friend Trent Lundberg stepped in to run Backroom’s operations and provide a home to Backroom’s beloved small batch roaster. His love of fresh-roasted coffee and his lifelong passion for cycling made him a natural fit for the role. When he isn’t slinging coffee via the Bean Buggy & promoting Backroom, Trent enjoys mountain biking, going to exotic car shows, concerts & cool new restaurants.
