Sam James Coffee Bar

The thread that ties all five Sam James Coffee Bar’s together is the insistence on serving high quality, in season coffee. The award-winning barista has a purposefully small menu that exposes the beans’ natural sweetness, depth and body. The locally baked goods also go down a treat.
