We are a small family owned coffee roasting and tea importing company with a main store at 201 Bleecker Street, in Greenwich village, New York. We roast some of our coffees at our warehouse and roaster in South Slope, Brooklyn and the balance in our store at 201 Bleecker Street. We where founded in 1907 as a retail store supplying the many Italians in the area with products they where used to in Italy. Coffee beans, Teas Leaves, Botanicals, herbs, Italian bitters like Fernet Branca, dried mushrooms, olive oil, Espresso coffee makers, teapots and brewers as well as coffee, cups teacups and general housewares. Over the years we have expanded the number of coffees and teas we sell. In addition we have a huge assortment of espresso machine parts and gaskets. We repair both home and commercial espresso machines. We have spices, botanicals, unique and fun candies and a small coffee bar in the bar. We can custom blend coffee for you based on what you like and how you drink your coffee or tea. We are strong believers in coffee freedom and encourage customers to drink their brew the way they like it. We roast all our own coffee and supply some of the best cafes and coffee bars in New York City. We roast for Think Coffee and Verb cafe two of the most demanding coffee bars cafes in the city. We import directly from small farms, the two most notable being Finca Los Angeles in Il Salvador and Kona Star farm on the Island of Kona. In 2011 we imported 900 lb. from a tiny Family owned Finca in Colombia. In the fall of 2011 we will be finished renovating our main store at 201 Bleecker Street restarting in store roasting. We have brought our L12 probat roaster back to life after running a new gas line and installing an afterburner. We will be roasting our Organic coffees there as well as offering tasting of all the coffees and teas offered for sale. Peter Longo

We moved from Bleecker to Battery Park City to experience the joy of not having to climb the stairs of a four-story walk-up. A neighbor had moved there and was delighted with elevator living. We moved to 275 South End Ave and lived there for 11 years.

On the morning of Sept 11th, Catherine and I were having a second cup of coffee when we heard a big explosion. It was a two-part explosion... Boom Boom, very deep. I thought it was far away and made mention that it must have been a very big explosion but seemed far away. Catherine went to the living room just in
time to see an airliner pass very close to the top of our building. She became frightened because she could only see the bottom of the aircraft, it was that close and thought it would hit us but instead a second later, we heard a second very loud deep explosion and a collective “OH NO” from the sea of people down below.

We made our way down the 25 flights and went around our building to South End Ave and looking up we could see the black, red line of very hot fire across the entire tower nearer to us. I couldn’t see how the building could survive such a fire and took Catherine’s hand and we made our way up West St. The streets were packed. People were stunned and just staring up in
disbelief. We jostled our way through the crowd and got to Houston St and made a right toward the store at 201 Bleecker. We surfaced on the corner of 6th Ave and Houston St right in front of the fire station. We watched as the firemen pulled their engine out of its bay and put on their gear and fearlessly jumped on board and headed down to the Twin Towers. Catherine and I went to the store at 201 Bleecker. A few minutes later while watching from
outside the store I saw the towers come down. Many of those firemen we saw gearing up and heading downtown perished in the collapse. It has been 25 years since that day. Never a day goes by that I do not think about those fearless firemen who rushed down to the Twin Towers. They are in my heart and mind every day. I will never forget them.
