Cafe Imports would like to send out a ‘congrats’ to Heather Perry and Coffee Klatch. Heather has just defended her title for the forth straight year as ‘Best Barista in the West’. We thought it noteworthy to point out, too, that two of the components in the Klatch’s espresso are coffees from Cafe Imports: our […]
