Coffee Journal — Restaurant

Flavorful Coffee is all about creating memorable experiences with loved ones. You might be sipping a cup at your desk, or guzzling half gallons during your commute into the office or on long road trips- but honestly, isn't a large part of those habits about transporting ourselves back home or to the cafes and restaurants where we spend time with loved ones?                                      The Gerhart Coffee Company's heritage as Central Pennsylvania's first coffee roaster is all about those experiences.
