KINK Live Performs at Villebois...Music and Coffee...what's not to love

First of all, thank you loyal patrons, last week was a record week at the Fratelli Coffee stand. We have two more weekends, this and next for market season so, if you need whole bean coffee, stop by and pick up a bag! We can also take orders! On our counter this week we'll have mocha fudge brownies, almond butter bars, and snickerdoodle cookies from De Roover Bakery. The brownies are decadent; fudgey with a hint of coffee and a chocolate covered espresso bean on top!

Local adult rock radio station, KINK.FM, recently announced plans to kick-off the launch of its latest KINK LIVE 12 CD with a concert open to all Portland-area residents in Villebois’ own Palermo Park in Wilsonville, Oregon, on Sunday, September 27th.

Plus, enjoy the music of our own Michele van Kleef , opening the concert.
The concert will also feature the music of Justin Jude, a musician featured on the KINK Local CD, which the popular local radio station will distribute for free to all spectators at the concert this month.

Until Sunday then, Ciao!

Aaron Meyer Performs this Sunday at the Market....virtually in front of our coffee stand!

So, have you all heard of Aaron Meyer? He's a local musician, a "concert rock violinist," and we are lucky enough to have him at the Sunday Market from 11am - 1pm. He will be performing on our "stage" which is where we (the Belgian Waffle Maker and Caffe Fratelli) fondly refer to as the "Food Court" of the Market. Here's a link for you to enjoy his music and talent!

We'll see you on Sunday at the Caffe Fratelli, while you enjoy his music grab a cup of French Press and a pastry.  On our counter this week we'll be featuring cookies, mocha brownies, and almond butter bars from DeRoover Bakery.

Coffee here's for all you addicts out there....

The sun is out...yahoo! Last week was a bit wet at the old stand. Come by today and try an iced latte or italian soda as you shop for your fresh produce. This week on our counter we're featuring Almond Butter Bars, Mixed Berry Oat Bars, and Chocolate Chip Cookies from De Roover Bakery . We came across this link and couldn't stop laughing; had to share. ">
Come visit us, we'll feed your addiction and share a laugh! Until Sunday then, ciao!

Why buy Organic?

The question has come up; more than once so we thought this entry would be about Organic Coffee. The basics are good responsible coffee should be ORGANIC, FAIRLY TRADED, and SHADE GROWN and BIRD FRIENDLY . When you buy Organic Coffee you are supporting farmers who are committed to maintaining the long-term health of our environment,
supporting family farms and strong communities, and helping preserve biodiversity. Of course Organic also means that the coffee is grown and processed without the use of harsh chemicals, fertilizers, or toxic pesticides.
You are in luck with the coffee we serve at Caffe Fratelli. Our K&F Bella Selva brand is Organic, Fairly Traded, and Shade Grown. The proceeds of our whole bean also give back to the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Foundation.

Ok, enough about educating your mind, now we'd like to tempt your senses. We're thinking Fall so this week we're featuring Almond Butter Bars from De Roover Bakery. They are nutty, buttery yumminess with a shortcake crust. We will also have fabulous chocolate chip cookies, and gooey mixed berry oat bars. Come by and try something with your usual cup of coffee.

Until Sunday then, Ciao!
