Our Early Bird Sale starts at 5:30 am this Saturday! 25% off all bags of our whole bean coffee, which we roast here in Belfast.

We'll have four new coffees on the shelf, all great for the holidays. A light roast from El Salvador with milk chocolate and praline notes. A light roast from Nicaragua that has some nuttiness and fruit. Tanzania Peaberry is back with cocoa and pecan notes. And our Winter Blend dark roast, this year with Bolivia and Ethiopia, has baking spice and toasty notes.

And there's plenty of our usual go to coffees as well - Espresso, Peru Dark, Ethiopia, and more.

PLUS lots of holiday drinks and sweet and savory treats to fuel your downtown shopping!
