Buon Giorno Coffee opened its doors for business on Monday, December 13. They took the recently vacated
House Coffee Bar location, just west of downtown. I stopped by today to see the new digs and and to get a cup of coffee.
They had several blends in the self-serve carafes, I asked for a dark roast and was told to try the
Papua, New Guinea blend. I did.
Perfect -- a really good cup of coffee.
Buon Giorno is also a coffee-roaster and sells fresh coffee by the half-pound and pound. Besides coffee and coffee drinks,
Buon Giorno serves grill-toasted paninis, and pastries made at
Main Street Bakery in Grapevine.
I hope that there is a place for the privately-owned coffee shop. There should be. I have never been a Starbucks basher; knowing I can get a good cup of coffee anywhere in the country is a service I appreciate. But local distinctiveness is lost when a business is run from 1500 miles away, to say nothing of the other benefits to the local economy a small business provides.
If
Buon Giorno consistently serves coffee like they had today, I'll be going back often.
