Happy April! We will be at market with a variety of freshly roasted coffees in 6 oz and 12 oz bags. We also have a variety of fine chocolate bars from Confections With Convictions in Kalamazoo. Stop by to try a sample of chocolate and get a cup of coffee! Have you ever tried one of our fresh pour-over coffees? If not, this is a great time to get one! We still only charge $3.00 for a fresh 12 oz to-go cup freshly brewed as you wait! If you would like to make a pre-order or have any questions, please email or call us. We would love to hear from you! Also, please like and share our Facebook page. We post updates and coffee related articles from time to time, and keep a list of our current offerings.
