Providence Coffee Roasters Blog

 

Greetings,

 

What’s new at PCR you ask?  Well, a lot! For starters, our new pastry line is from a local bakery called, Wild Harvest. These all natural, no preservative treats are a favorite for many of our staff and complement our coffee drinks nicely. We have an assortment of muffins, croissants, coffee cakes, scones and danish in addition to our already delicious bagels, oatmeal and yogurt parfaits. Let us know what you think of these fantastic new treats!

 

Now that the weather is starting to warm up make sure to stop in for an iced tea or iced coffee and enjoy our new outdoor tables and chairs. This coming weekend with the weather forecast looking promising, we are taking PCR on the road and will have coffee booths at the K-Rob Foundation Event and at the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Make sure to be on the look out for us if you are there!

 

Happy Spring!

Greetings coffee lovers!

 

Well April is almost over and we have been open now for three months, amazing how time flies! From time to time we like to put out info to let our customers know what’s new here in the land of coffee beans, so here is the scoop. 

First, if you have not had a chance yet to vote for your favorite new coffee shop in RI's Best Magazine here's your chance, there are only a few days left to vote! (just follow this link) Best of Rhode Island Ballot  

Secondly, if you have not stopped in recently to our café there are quite a few new and exciting things going on. We have greatly increased our food offerings. Locally made bagels, yogurt parfaits with yogurt from Providence Granola Project and cranberry oatmeal are just a few of our new favorites. We continue to offer a excellent selection of Fair Trade and Organic coffee available here Coffee Offerings and now we are ramping up our corporate and cafe sales, so if your business needs coffee, let us know as we ship and deliver everywhere!

Finally, in the next few months check back with us for our new line of summer drinks, outdoor seating and live music! (coming in May) For the most up to date news follow us on twitter (provcoffeeroast) or facebook. 

 Because your coffee can change the world,

Well, Jevon braved the most recent blizzard of 2011 and picked up some exciting new coffee offerings yesterday in New York! The roaster is fired up and all these new beans will be available at the shop later today (Thursday the 27th). Among the new offerings, there are a few we wish to highlight: A superb Ethiopian Sidamo, a rich Nicaraguan from the UCOSEMUN coop, a limited supply of Honduran Carruchil Marcala beans and finally, a new decaf blend.  All are certified fair trade, organic and extremely tasty, come in for a cup or buy a pound! 

Live out of state? Then checkout our easy to use online ordering system on this very site!

See you at 181 Willett Ave Riverside RI!

Hi coffee lovers and PCR fans! We are set to open the cafe this Friday, January 14th! This will be a soft opening (meaning the complete and full extent of our menu and publicity will actually come together at our grand opening later this month). But don't be fooled!!!! The lights, wifi and espresso machine are on, the coffee is brewing and chairs and tables are ready for you to sit in; so stop in, grab a coffee or pastry and enjoy the beautiful new space! Keep checking back with us for new details and about our GRAND OPENING later this month!

Our address is 181 Willett Ave, East Providence RI (The Location page has a great map) 

See you there!

For the next five days (December 11th-15th) we wanted to offer something special for you our customers as a thank you for the support over the past year and perhaps give you an opportunity to purchase that last minute gift for someone special! So, starting today if you purchase one pound of coffee at regular price you can buy a second pound at half price! (Limit one per customer) So why not spread the love and give the gift of fairly traded, organically grown, specialty coffee this year?!

If you purchase from our online store, make sure to purchase just one pound and we will contact you about the second pound via email! So as usual, if you need coffee, let us know!

Have a great day,

 

Jeff and the PCR team
