Of the rewards reaped in our 35 years of business, the relationships we’ve built within our community are by far the most cherished. As a family we were delighted to share in these accomplishments with some of our closest friends and clients at our recent 35th Anniversary party at Mr. Espresso. For this momentous occasion we spruced up the roastery, brought in a band, and opened the doors to our newly completed espresso machine gallery which features Carlo’s impressive collection of antique espresso machines.

With delicious savory bites from Jon Smulewitz of Dopo Restaurant, ample red wine from Carlo’s vineyard, Ardente Winery, and sweet treats from Michele Suas of the SF Baking Institute — our guests ate, drank, mixed and mingled to music by an authentic Italian accordion player as well as a jazz duo. A silent auction also went down, with proceeds benefitting Fair Trade USA and Grounds for Health.

It was an amazing night full of friends, family, and good times. For those of you were able to join us, thank you. For those who couldn’t make it, we look forward to celebrating with you soon! Special thanks to Jonathan Fong for capturing our special evening. You can see the rest of the photos on our Company Facebook page here.

Salute!
