Sale! All our chocolate is on sale this week! We are terribly sorry to announce this, but we will only be at market the next two Saturdays. We have had some hard life decisions to make, and we are going to be moving out of state and temporarily closing the coffee business. We will miss all of you!
We will be bringing a variety of freshly roasted coffees in 6 oz and 12 oz bags. We also have a variety of fine chocolate bars and barks 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 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 look forward to seeing you at market!
