Bodukoglu said the company is in daily communication with farmers there, and selling their products helps them build sustainable communities. Other drink offerings include French press, Chemex and pourover coffee options, latte drinks and a variety of organic fair trade Rishi teas. The bakery serves up muffins, scones, quiches, pastries and customizable cakes for special occasions.
