Our Partners & Suppliers
A cafe serves the public – but what about the organizations behind the scenes that serve the cafe?
We wanted to highlight the partners we carefully selected to bring you the greatest coffee and pastry experience in Shippensburg, PA.
Food Program
All of our ingredients for our dishes and pastries are either Non-GMO or organic. This applies to the very wheat berries we source to grind our own wheat.
We source food ingredients mainly through FoodPro food distributors and Azure Standard (organics).
If we can find it local, we strive to serve local produce and ingredients.
Our very own Chef Paul has brought fresh tomatoes, lavender and peppermint from his farm that we have served in various dishes.
Coffee Program
We have a multi-roaster coffee program, at times carrying coffees from 4-6 different coffee roasters, each for a specific reason.
On espresso – arguably the backbone of every contemporary coffee program – we will be showcasing a beautiful Costa Rica coffee from the Turrialba region roasted by Lore Coffee Roasters all the way from Bonner’s Ferry Idaho! Nicholas and Graysen started Lore 2 years ago after meeting at their local Orthodox Christian church. Nicholas has over 8 years of experience in the specialty coffee industry, and as head roaster, he has chosen a custom coffee and roast for us. As coffee is a seasonal crop, the bean may change, but it will always be a medium roast profile to provide a contemporary twist on a traditional European coffee experience. We do serve Decaf coffee, which is also roasted by Lore (swiss water process).
On filter coffee (“drip or black coffee”) we are brewing the same coffee roasted by Lore Coffee Roasters. We also serve a Brazilian coffee roasted by Burning Bush a.k.a the Orthodox Christian monks at St. Tikhon’s Monastery in South Canaan, PA. We also have Passenger Coffee from Lancaster often in our coffee pots as well.
All of our loose leaf teas are sourced through Passenger Coffee from Lancaster, PA. Their approach to business and quality of coffee is extremely impressive, and their tea is no exception.
We will be serving selections of Passenger Coffee‘s exclusive lots on Pour Over, alongside Little Wolf Coffee Roasters and of course, Lore Coffee Roasters. The menu will always be rotating with seasonal availability.
