Café Cohen, located inside Great Harvest Bread Company, is holding a cupping today at 1 p.m. with new Guatemalan and Nicaraguan coffees.
The café serves all coffee from Cultivar Coffee, a microroaster based out of Dallas, and each cup is brewed no more than 14 days after the beans were roasted. The cupping is basically a sampling. Café Cohen also serves teas and other coffee drinks, so grab one with a Great Harvest sandwich for a late lunch.
Find Café Cohen at 854A Kaliste Saloom. If you can’t catch them today, stop by Genterie Supply Co. downtown on Sunday morning for a cup. Find more on Café Cohen here.
