Nothing beats the smell of freshly brewed coffee ~ especially now that I'm literally fueled by it as we navigate work, school and home-life! So, when I stumbled into Sospeso Coffee Roasters, located in Provisions Waxhaw on Main Street in downtown Waxhaw, I immediately perked up.
"Sospeso Coffee" literally translates to "Suspended" Coffee in Italian. This reflects a century-old tradition of those with means paying for coffee to be offered for free to those less fortunate. This tradition has survived and developed into a global grass roots movement reflecting not only coffee, but also dedication to paying it forward. At Sospeso Coffee Roasters, they proudly carry forward this tradition by donating a portion of our proceeds in coffee to local food banks and missions.
What began as a hobby in 1997 has brewed into not only a passion but a full-time labor of love. Kyle and Janet, the husband and wife team behind Sospeso Coffee Roasters pride themselves on how their hand-crafted, artisan roast profiles optimize the unique flavors, aromas and body found naturally in coffee, while avoiding flavor associated with the roast. So, when you enter Provisions Waxhaw and step up to place your order, you know that you are getting the best of the best.
Whether you are taking a fresh joe to go, or grabbing some beans for your pot at home, if you haven't checked out Sospeso, you are missing out on one of Waxhaw's best local businesses!
