I love this Job..

One of my favorite parts of running this bakery/cafe is the taste testing I get to do. As we approach July & our 15th anniversary celebration, we have been trying some new recipes, breads, pastries, sandwiches & even some retail items. I want to invite everyone to try some of our newest creations the week of July 7th-13th. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I will say that everyone should try the Roast Beef on Jalapeno Cornbread. We also are kicking around the idea of having some of you help create our new menu. So if you have any good recipes, make sure to stop in that week, there will be some pretty good rewards for the the recipes that make it on our menu (and Bragging Rights!). Check back for more.

15 years of Coffee, Pastries & The Traveling Espresso

It's on the way.. a couple pounds of Peaberry's Espresso are headed to Florida to satisfy the needs of one of my favorite, although seasonal, coffee-lovers. Barb- we'll miss you, until you drive the 1100 miles or so for your latte. Good luck down there, and let me know when you'll be coming back.

In other news: Peaberry's will be celebrating 15 years of great coffee, made from scratch pastries, and delicious sandwiches. Keep an eye on our calendar, from July 7th to 13th, there will be specials, prizes, and giveaways. You can try our newest sandwiches, meet our roaster, and help us decide what we should add to our menu.

I'll tell you about one of the specials we will be running.. Order our homemade Biscotti or Iced Sugar Cookies and get 15 for the price of 12. We do ask that you order them a day in advance, as we want to get you the freshest baked goods possible (made from scratch right here, in our ovens). We will be running this special the entire week of our 15 anniversary. You can even phone in your order (330.702.9230)

Keep checking our calendar for more..

So I got back late last night... What a trip! Any chance to get to a F1 grand prix is great, but Montreal was a completely different experience for me. If you didn't see the race, you missed a good one. Those cars are so much more impressive in person!

But there was more to this trip: the city, the night life, the food. Montreal had some great restaurants (and some good coffee, too). I would recommend The Oyster Shack on Bishop (thanks Peter- outstanding lobster!).

I could have spent a few days just walking around the city looking at the cathedrals & architecture, checking out the local scene, but it was time to come home. I missed my Peaberry's lattes and the morning coffee crew.

Sounds like it was a good weekend at home. Congrats to the Canfield Girls Softball team on winning state. Kelly Pavlik defended his title (I was lucky enough to catch the fight- impressive 3 round victory for Kelly). I heard that Adrian was just as good as last time- if you haven't seen him play yet, check him out Friday, June 20th before he leaves for Mexico.

In other Acoustic Music news: Rick Blair will be playing again for your listening pleasure this Saturday the 14th. He starts at 7:30pm, so come grab a seat, sandwich, a latte, or pastry and enjoy!

Check our calendar for more performances, and our specials for the 15 anniversary celebration( www.peaberryscafe.com/calendar/).

Talk to you soon,

Chris

Adrian is back

I'm pleased to announce that Adrian Labra is back to entertain us again Saturday. He will be playing from 7:30 to 9:30. So stop in, have your favorite drink, a terrific dessert and enjoy the evening in a relaxed atmosphere.
Adrian will be leaving to spend a few months in Mexico in July so come by and see him before he is gone for the summer.

We have also added music to our outside patio area to make your visit more enjoyable now that the days and evenings are made to be outside.

I'm off to Montreal to see the F1 race this weekend, so stop by after Tuesday and we can talk about the trip and how the French Canadian coffee stacks up the Peaberrys brews. Don't worry, Marcia & Quinn will make sure your favorite drinks are made just how you like them.

Seville Orange Today/French Vanilla Tomorrow

Thanks to all of you that have been braving the construction on 224 to get your morning latte!
As someone that has been driving through it almost every day, I think the traffic is moving through the construction quickly. I have been only delayed by a moment heading towards Peaberry's & hardly at all going towards Boardman.

Seville Orange is the Flavored Coffee today. It sure smells good! And it has quickly become a staff favorite. Thanks for suggesting it, Jackie! I'm still stuck on the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte (with an extra shot of espresso) though.
Tomorrow I think I'll brew French Vanilla, always popular. Let me know if there are any other flavors you would like to see. Post it here or email me: chris@peaberryscafe.com.

Just found out from the mother of the game-winning homerun hitter that the Canfield girls softball team is only 2 games away from State! Good luck from all of us at Peaberry's.
