Sad News

Farley’s Goes Green
We will now be serving Mr. Espresso ’s Organic Neapolitan Espresso beans that are fair trade & organic certified. The Coffee Review says, "the smoky tones are sweet and floral in the nose, but rather sharply pungent in the demitasse, where the flowers transform to pruny dry fruit with a hint of burned tones. Excellent in milk, which softens and sweetens the sharpness." We hope you enjoy these new beans!
