Bean Dash

08/03/2026

Today marks the end of the 20 Below era at Bean Dash. We have used their beans for almost 5 years, sadly they closed their business a couple weeks ago. They were great people and roasted some amazing beans. They even installed my espresso machine. We will miss them a lot.

On a happy note we were able to find a new roasting partner who was able to do a custom roast profile on some tasty beans that I am very happy with. Starting tomorrow our beans will be roasted by The ND Coffee Roastery out of Grand Forks. If you enjoy the new beans as much as I do, we will now have 1 pound bags available to take home.

With June complete, I am happy to report that Quarters for Cora was a huge success. With a quarter from every drink sold and some insanely generous donations from customers, we are able to give Cora and the Osowski family $1,676.36 to help with the expenses they are facing. I am thankful for every one of you that stopped by. I am continually reminded how lucky I am to be a part of Grafton and the surrounding area.

Class of ’96 is brewing up some fun for Summerfest!
To celebrate their 30‑year reunion, they're sponsoring BEAN DASH and surprising 20 random cars with ONE free coffee on Friday, June 26.

Roll through, sip happy, and enjoy a little throwback kindness —
because nothing says “Go Spoilers!” like free caffeine.☕

✨ See you around town, Grafton!

Check out Aisa and her amazing goodies during Summer Fest.

SUMMERFEST is almost here!!!
Tahanan Kitchen is bringing their highly-praised homemade CASSAVA CAKE 💛 and UBE BIKO 💜

📍 Grafton Armory
🗓️ 27th June Saturday
⏰ 10:00 AM
Cassava cake has been on Filipino family tables for generations. Unlike the light and airy layer cakes many are used to, cassava cake is dense, moist, and distinctly chewy, with a texture closer to mochi.

Coconut leads every bite, deepened by the caramel warmth coconut condensed milk and the subtle earthiness of cassava, a starchy tropical root that gives the cake its signature chew. Crowned throughout are pieces of macapuno, a rare, jelly-fleshed coconut variety with a sweetness that borders on candy.
Ube Biko is a Filipino sticky rice cake with roots going back centuries, when sweets like this were made as offerings to gods and ancestors, served at harvests and weddings.

It is glutinous sticky rice folded by hand with coconut milk and ube, a purple yam that is earthy, subtly sweet, and faintly vanilla. The texture is dense and chewy.
On top sits glazed coconut condensed milk and a rare jelly-fleshed coconut variety so naturally sweet it borders on candy. Every batch is stirred and folded by hand. That effort shows in every bite.

See you there! 🙇🏻‍♀️😊

Just in case you missed it where our hours are posted, we are on our summer schedule of being closed on Saturdays. Although tomorrow (5/30) Aisa will be selling her Filipino baked goods out front if you are interested in that.

We have something special going on for the month of June. My goddaughter Cora, who just finished third grade in town here, is going through a battle she should not have to face. She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. In the spirit of her not having to battle this alone, we will be donating a quarter from every drink sold to help her fight. She will be spending a lot of time in the hospital in the coming months so if you would like to drop off a note of support I would gladly make sure she gets it.
