Quality, genuineness, and excellence provide an authentic community coffeehouse experience unlike any other! Our experienced artisan roaster insists on using only the finest quality organic and fair-trade coffee beans available. This combined with small batch roasting ensures the freshest and richest coffee experience available. The majority of our Forest coffees are organic and hand roasted in small batches from the various coffee growing regions of the world. As our regulars will tell you, our premium brewed coffee and espresso drinks are superb – many say the best in town. We offer a variety of coffee blends and premium single- origin coffees, as well as loose leaf teas, imported hot chocolates, blended iced drinks and Italian sodas all day long. A wide variety of fine pastries, muffins and baked treats are delivered fresh to Forest Coffee Shops every day. In a world of pre-made, over-processed food, Forest insists on starting with the freshest, finest ingredients. At Forest Coffee we make fantastic paninis – from delicious breakfast burritos/sandwiches and our signature grilled Panini. We use only premium cheeses and whole-roasted meats for better flavor. The portions are generous, with no corners cut or ingredients skimped. Each Panini is made fresh to order – the way a really good Panini should be.
