It is hard to imagine a time when getting a good coffee drink was something for the elite as the level of coffee choices here used to be limited to gas stations, restaurants, or your home. That all changed in the late ‘80s locally when Sons and Daughters Bookstore and Coffeehouse opened in the heart of Cherry Hill.
Since that time, getting a good cup of coffee has not been a problem as everyone from locals to national chains have invaded the cityscape to offer a coffee revolution with a dizzying array of options and styles for locals who will venture beyond Starbucks or that cup of Joe at Speedway.
To celebrate this advent of so many choices comes the return of the 2018
Coffee Crawl hosted by GR Now where, for a little cash, one can be treated to a weekend of the best coffee our region has to offer.
Each ticket to the 2nd annual Coffee Crawl includes (1) 4 oz. sample of coffee (or alternative beverage) at all coffee shops participating in this weekend’s three-day event. Attendees will also receive an electronic guide that will help them locate all of the participating coffee venues.
The coffee shops for 2018’s event include these 16 local brands: Corridor Coffee, Ferris Coffee & Nut Co. (Westside and Downtown’s Trust Building location), Jam’n Bean Coffee Company, Lantern Coffee Bar & Lounge, Mayan Buzz Cafe, Bitter End Coffeehouse, The Sparrows Coffee & Tea & Newsstand, Bagel Beanery, Brown Butter Creperie & Cafe, Go Java Coffee, PaLatte Coffee & Art, Squibb Coffee & Wine Bar, Global Infusion, Deja Brew, and of course all three locations of the award-winning Madcap Coffee Company.
And while it is a crawl, you are free to try and visit all 16 in one day, or purchase a weekend pass and visit all of them at a more leisurely pace. Either way, why sit at home with your Mr. Coffee when you can let someone else do the brewing this weekend.
