Spreadin’ the word . . . Wildfire Coffee Roasters

  

Congo coffee beans

     Over the past couple of weeks I went on a search to find a burlap coffee sack I could purchase locally for a project I wanted to make.   A most unexpected result was my stumbling upon Wildfire Coffee Roasters, located at 15502 Huebner, Ste. 101, here in San Antonio, TX.  I must have been sleeping under a rock because many other people have heard about this great business it as it won the 2008 San Antonio-Express News’ Critics Choice award.  After tasting my first cup of freshly brewed coffee from there, I’d say the award was right on the mark!

Wildfire Coffee Roasters front counter . . . yum!

    I’ve since been back several times and am always greeted by very friendly staff.  I convinced my DH (dear husband) to go with me for a freshly brewed cup at the store, even if we had to get it “to go”.  We had errands to run before he went to work for the day. One of the things he noticed about his cup of Congo coffee was even though the last little bit of it had gotten cool (’cause he was doing more talking than drinking), it was STILL SMOOTH!  Now that’s a great coffee!  

Congo coffee & a cup of freshly brewed ready to go!

      The next morning, DH ground and brewed some of the Congo beans at home to drink before going to work.  He drank what he had time for and left for work.  Upon returning home that night he reported that he had stopped to purchase a quick cup of coffee at a convenience store on his drive to work that morning as he was still wanting something to drink.  He doesn’t consider himself a coffee connoisseur (although he does drink a lot of coffee) but he insists that he could tell a real difference.  He said that he couldn’t even continue drinking the cup of convenience store coffee he had purchased because the taste of the Congo coffee had been so superior.  Now that’s remarkable coffee for my DH to comment on it after a long, hard day of work!

Coffee bean sacks – waiting for you to purchase!

     I did purchase the Kona Fancy coffee bean sack (pictured on the chair) for my project.  Wildfire Coffee Roasters has many styles of coffee bean sacks available for sale.  Most have really cool graphics, too!

So if you’re out and about in San Antonio, stop by their store and get a memorable cup of coffee!  And say hi to the owners, Tricia and Mark Sobhani – two super friendly people!

 

(And thanks, Tricia, for letting me snap photos!)

Until next time, cheers!
