Next time you are in Northern Minnesota take some time to enjoy a beautiful cafe in Park Rapids called “Bella Caffe.”

Thom and Cathy Peterson are the owners and they did a great job of creating the perfectly authentic Italian motif for their cafe. They serve espresso and coffee, fruit smoothies, wine, beer, cheeses, antipasto, paninis, treats, and much more.

I truly enjoyed my experience at their cafe and am positive you will as well.

Bella Caffe – 116 3rd Street West, Park Rapids, MN 56470 / (218)732-7625

Please Contact Us for more information.

Thanks.

This a great way to add some profits to your counter/retail offerings.

Minimum order of 1 case or (4 x 60pc) displays

Please Contact Us for more information or Pre-Order Yours today! 

While I acknowledge that this has little to do with coffee, and by “little” I actually mean “nothing,” it is an interesting study nonetheless and worthy of our perusal.

Please note that Upper Midwest Gourmet is firmly entrenched in Popville, and we expect you to honor that vernacular when placing orders. And yes, I realize that we don’t sell Pop. I mean Soda.

Ahhhhhh…

A great weekend of roasting and hanging out with other roasters. Most of us are pretty starved for contact with other people who care about maximizing acidic snap by quickening first crack ramp-up.

Well Northerners, the chilly mornings and evenings are finally here.  That means it’s time to start re-arranging inventory and moving back into the hot beverages.  Make sure you raise your par levels on Chai Tea and Syrups for Hot Drinks.  We are taking pre-orders for Ghirardelli Christmas / Holiday candy for the next 2 weeks so talk to your sales rep. and place your special orders now.  Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint, Pralines, Creme D Menthe, Egg Nog and all the other Holiday flavors are all back in stock here and should be on your shelves too.  Don’t wait to follow Starbucks lead.  Make them follow you!   Cheers, David 

Just a reminder to all our coffee customers.  Our Roasterie roasts all of your coffee when you order it.  Many other companies claim to do this but we really do operate like this.  There is no giant stock of roasted beans on the shelf for days and weeks at a time.  Occasionally we can pull coffee from a batch that is scheduled to deliver the next day or increase the size of a batch of coffee about to be roasted to accommodate a rush order.  However, we cannot guarantee that if you order coffee on Monday that we can roast, cool, package, label and ship your order on the same day.  We require you place your coffee orders by 11:00 am the day before you need the beans to be shipped.  If you order coffee on Monday it will ship on Tuesday or if you are a local Van route customer it will be roasted the day before your next delivery.  Please remember this when planning your coffee inventory.  It is our goal to have you serve the freshest and best coffee possible and we don’t want to have to put bags on the shelf waiting an extended amount of time before your next order. Also remember that we Gold Cup Certify all exclusive Flamenco Coffee customers at no charge.  Feel free to talk to any of our 3 gold cup staff members to schedule a time to have your store certified.     Cheers, David
