Keeping you coffeed up.
Fonté Coffee Roaster is celebrating the grand opening of its new café and wine bar at the elite Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle, to coincide with Coffee Fest this Saturday, September 26. Located in a bustling area of downtown Seattle, across the street from the Seattle Art Museum and just blocks from the Pike Place Market, Fonté has found the perfect location to showcase its first retail establishment, where it will promote gourmet coffee blends formerly available only online and through mail order.
The gourmet coffee bar will be the showpiece of the company, sharing with customers its super premium coffees prepared by master roaster Steve Smith, an industry veteran with more than 30 years roasting experience. The coffee bar will serve the company’s elite, imported coffees, including an $80 a pound variety called Panama Esmerelda. This selection will be featured as one of Fonté’s “Cup of the Day” promotions for just $1.50 a shot.
Fonté’s goal is to offer a first class menu of the finest world coffees, along with a food menu created by award-winning local chef and Crush restaurant owner Jason Wilson. There will also be an internationally inspired wine list, managed by acclaimed sommelier Tysan Dutta, formerly of the Herbfarm.
Fonté’s owner Paul Odom says the bar will be a place where the company can share their years of experience in the coffee roasting business and where guests can sample coffees from around the world.
