Corner Bakery Cafe Unveils New Coffee Program
In a noteworthy development that will please coffee aficionados, Corner Bakery Cafe has announced the rollout of an enhanced coffee program, establishing a partnership with Java City. This collaboration aims to provide customers with specialty coffee that emphasizes quality and care in sourcing.
A Natural Collaboration
Both Corner Bakery Cafe and Java City share a heritage rooted in community-centric hospitality and a passion for excellent food and beverages. Since its inception, Corner Bakery has thrived as a neighborhood cafe, making this partnership not only logical but also an exciting evolution of their offerings.
New Coffee Offerings
This new coffee initiative introduces four distinct coffee options: Baker’s Blend, Hazelnut Cream, Café Europa, and Italian Roast Decaf. Each choice aims to deliver a unique experience, ranging from medium to dark roast profiles, catering to various taste preferences. The flavors are expertly curated to pair beautifully with Corner Bakery's menu items including muffins, cinnamon rolls, and savory breakfast options like bacon and egg croissants.
Erin Hasselgren, the president of Corner Bakery Cafe, elaborated on the initiative, stating, “Coffee has always been an important part of the Corner Bakery experience, so we wanted to make sure this next chapter was done with care.” The partnership was formed after extensive collaboration over the past year, focusing on sourcing beans from key coffee-producing regions in Central America, South America, and Mexico. The roasting process was finely tuned at Java City’s facility in Sacramento to ensure consistency and quality.
Commitment to Quality
Pete Rogers, the owner of Java City, echoed the sentiments of Hasselgren, recognizing the mutual dedication to crafting the perfect coffee blend. The beans are sourced through farmer-owned cooperatives that promote traceable origins, equitable pricing, and sustainable relationships across the coffee production spectrum. Java City consistently achieves high ratings, with their coffee scoring 83 or greater on the Specialty Coffee Association's quality index, confirming its status within the specialty segment.
Availability and Future Plans
The new lineup is ready for coffee lovers at participating Corner Bakery Cafe locations, although it’s worth noting that this initiative does not extend to cafes located in El Paso. This strategic move is set to uplift the overall guest experience and is an avenue for Corner Bakery to strengthen its brand identity within the competitive market of fast-casual dining.
In addition to the coffee program, Corner Bakery Cafe has also made strides in updating its interior design with a retro-inspired look at its West Plano location. This redesign utilizes original artifacts from its early days in Chicago, reflecting both their history and modern sensibilities.
