Coffee is Here! | January 10, 2022 |
Fresh & Local:Coffee is Here!Long time market shoppers might remember the pre-COVID days when market staff offered hot and iced coffee for sale at the welcome tent and miss those morning perks. We are very excited to announce that we’re upping our coffee game and welcoming new local artisan coffee vendors into each of our three weekly markets with micro roasted bags of ethically sourced beans for your own home coffee prep, as well as coffee drinks for your urgent go juice needs. Joining our Sunday market this week is Coffee Science - don’t miss out on the Venetian Creme! On the horizon for Thursday is Exile Coffee, helmed by proprietor Byron Gomez, a long time coffee roaster and Acadiana native. We look forward to welcoming back former Tuesday Green Plate Special vendor Kirby Jones of La Vie En Rose Cafe to the Tuesday market with a variety of signature coffee beverages. And River Boat Coffee with their nitro cold brew will be coming on board at both Tuesday and Sunday markets. We’ll keep you posted as they come on board, and you can always find out who will be at market here. |
