Autumn

It's been far too long since we've updated this blog. Apologies.

Autumn is bringing all kinds of excitement to the cafe. We're sampling new stuff in our food case, so if you think we could use anything in particular, let us know.

We've also got maple syrup and pumpkin spice for your coffees. As the cafe's token coffee purist/snob, I feel obliged to be upset about this, but just can't bring myself to it. Maybe it's because they're just so good in steamers.

In coffee news, we're switching, sometime today or tomorrow, to Counter Culture's Espresso Rustico. It's been a great summer for CC in terms of single origin espressos (Valle del Santuario, Cinco de Junio, and Idido Espresso, from March to August!), but it's time now to return to our old favorite. We've still got plenty of the Idido Natural Sundried as our house brew, and if you come by at the right time, we may be pouring-over or French pressing it, to evoke the fruity and chocolately flavors respectively.

Lastly and perhaps most excitingly, Harrisburg's coffee scene is joined by Little Amps, transforming this weekend from a roasting-only operation to a full-scale coffeeshop. They haven't updated their website in a while either (understandably so), but I was in the other day, and both their shop (at the corner of Green and Muench streets) and their Victoria Arduiro Athena Leva are beautiful. Head over there this Saturday for their grand opening.
