About feine coffee:

We’ve been making days brighter and coffee better since 2012, when our owner opened our doors and invited our community to be part her Brazilian family’s morning coffee tradition. In Brazil, coffee time is time to connect with family and friends in a welcoming space – that sense of connection is at the heart of ‘feine.
