9th Street Italian Market Gourmet Coffee Program August Offerings

Buying gourmet coffee in Philadelphia just got easier! If you remember back in June, we introduced you to 9th Street's Gourmet Coffee Program. At any given time we've got a generous rotating selection of gourmet coffees from around the country available for purchase: Stumptown, Intelligentsia, Counter Culture, and Doma are just a few gourmet coffee roasters that we carry. Due to popular demand, we recently expanded our gourmet coffee offerings to include three local-to-Philadelphia coffee roasters:

• La Colombe Torrefaction
• ReAnimator
• Rival Bros.

We're thrilled to be carrying these local roasters and hope you'll pop into our stores to support locally-roasted coffee. Without further adieu...
