Gourmet coffee lovers in Philadelphia have made Di Bruno Bros. in the Italian Market their source for buying gourmet coffee in Philadelphia. Ever since we announced the gourmet coffee program at 9th Street in June, it’s gone off like gangbusters! We have coffee that you can’t get ANYWHERE else in Philadelphia and it’s flying off the shelves.
Not only are sales brisk; ensuring we’ll continue carrying these great gourmet coffee roasters in Philadelphia, but we introduced fun gatherings at the store we like to call the “Saturday Morning Breakfast Club” (see picture). These casual Saturday morning events are all about introducing you to the coffee, offer coffee brewing tips as well as pair the coffees up with select gourmet cheeses. Cheese isn’t just for wine and beer anymore!
Here’s the coffee roaster schedule for the upcoming events:
- 9/15 – Stumptown
- 9/22 – Intelligentsia
- 9/29 – ReAnimator
- 10/6 – La Colombe
- 10/13 – Rojo’s Roastery
Last month was a HUGE month for us and for gourmet coffee lovers in Philadelphia. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for more information about future coffee and cheese pairings. In the meantime, scope out September’s gourmet coffee offerings…
