Opening a coffee shop soon—what are your absolute favorite "daily driver" espresso blends?

Hey everyone, I’m in the middle of planning a new coffee shop project and I’m working on sourcing beans for our menu. Before we start ordering wholesale samples, I want to test what the community actually loves drinking every day.

What are your top 2 or 3 favorite roasters or specific blends for standard espresso and milk drinks (latte/cappuccino)? I’m looking for consistency, great crema, and crowd-pleasing profiles (think rich chocolatey, nutty, or balanced sweet notes).

Bonus points if the roaster does commercial wholesale partnering! Thanks for the help.

Any one can send some free samples to check, because I have many and we testing it out, we are located in Knoxville tn)
