Come to the DARK SIDE! May the 4th be with you.

Happy Earth Day from the Southwest Chocolate & Coffee Fest 🌎🍫☕
Today’s a good reminder that chocolate and coffee both start with the earth—and with the farmers, families, and communities who work hard every day to grow, harvest, ferment, dry, ship, roast, and serve it to us all.
We’re grateful for the people growing chocolate and coffee, and for this amazing planet that makes it possible.
Have a little chocolate, enjoy a great cup of coffee, and celebrate Earth Day. ☕🍫🌱

A delicious collaboration.

So guess what? Just did this amazing collab with ! Check us both out at the . C.R.E.A.M. tastes so good and the coffee hits just right! Its amazing to see someone take your baby and elevate it to a new level. Truly honored to get to work with people that take their craft as seriously as Ex Novo does while having a blast doing it. Here is to doing good and staying loyal to the cup! Cheers!

The bean in the brew is our Dalmatian Blend which has been a roastery classic since its creation in 2017. If you love a great pale ale and great coffee you need to try it!
