The world of coffee can be daunting.  The plethora of brew methods, drink sizes and flavor shots combined with endless options of low-fat, 1/2 caf., no foam and skinny lattes is enough to keep many people away from specialty coffee.  At J. Arthur’s, we would like offer a different coffee experience than is typical in most fast-paced coffee environments.  We want to provide our community with coffee beverages they will enjoy without compromising on some ‘essentials’: coffee beans and dairy.

Coffee: Coffee is similar to wine.  Each coffee farm produces beans with very unique, interesting flavor profiles.  These flavors and aromas can only be enjoyed if the coffee is not overshadowed by the ‘roast’ during the roasting process.  At J. Arthur’s, we try to focus on Single Origin (SO) coffees (unblended coffee) which each have their own unique characteristics.  However, we do understand that many people really enjoy the chocolaty sweetness of darker roasts and we will gladly offer a selection of both.

Dairy: The use of whole milk in coffee beverages is becoming more and more common these days.  At J. Arthur’s we primarily use whole milk and offer 1% milk for our low-fat option.  While many people prefer skim milk, we find the fat content in milk necessary to maintain the consistency we desire in our lattes and cappuccinos.  We believe that only the highest quality diary will produce the highest quality coffee beverages.  We are committed to using grass-fed dairy, produced by local, family owned and operated farms.

Traditional Italian Beverages: Many have asked: ”What is a cortado?”  ”Why are your cappuccinos so small?”  ”Why does the espresso taste so different?”  ”Why aren’t there a variety of sizes to choose from?”  While there are many different avenues we could take in regards to sizes and customizations, sometimes the best option is the simplest.  We offer a selection of “traditional” Italian-based drinks that focus more on the espresso than on flavor shots.  We hope you can try these beverages with an open mind.  We really think they taste good and we hope you will, too.
