The Kew Park Coffee Bar at the East Liberty Farmers Market

January 19th, 2010

A new coffee bar opened recently at the East Liberty Farmers Market that features some incredible coffee from Jamaica. Fresh brewed and whole bean coffee will be available at the market. Kew Park Coffee is being brought to you directly from the farm by the Lagnese family of Highland Park. The coffee is roasted and shipped directly from Jamaica to Pittsburgh on a weekly basis. It does not go through a distributor or wholesaler, and thus does not sit on a shelf in a warehouse.

The East Liberty Farmers Market operates year round and is open every Saturday from 5 am until 12 noon. The market is located behind Home Depot. The East Liberty Farmer’s Market has been a part of our community since 1947! The market features a great variety of locally grown and made items including meats, fruits and vegetables, bread, eggs, cider, cheese and much more.
