Roasting Plant is an American concept operating café locations in London. The business was founded in New York by Mike Caswell around a proprietary in-store roasting and brewing system called Javabot, which roasts coffee in micro-batches inside each café and transports beans through pneumatic tubes before brewing each cup to order.

The technology is the defining characteristic of the business rather than the provenance or origin work typically found in UK speciality roasters. The UK site's pricing is displayed in US dollars with a free shipping threshold listed in dollars, suggesting the web presence is largely shared with the US parent operation.

This is a café chain with a built-in roasting gimmick rather than a roastery in the UK independent sense.
