• Why we love this coffee?

  With a single taste, you’ll understand why back we scooped and blended Caffe Verona to order in our stores by hand back in 1975. 50 years later, each taste is still a delight.
• The story of this coffee

  Named after a city known for romance because it‘s easy to fall in love at first sip. This multi-region blend has been winning hearts for decades. Originally created as a dessert coffee for a Seattle restaurant, it quickly became a hit in our store. Well-balanced and rich with flavours of dark cocoa and caramelized sugar, it pairs perfectly with anything chocolate.
• Behind the design

  This dark roast is named after the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. We wanted the design to feel romantic and reference the city’s ornate architecture. Layered with its iconic Verona roses, you find a bubbling fountain, ivy draping off balconies, and Italian castle-like detailing.
