Our Story
The idea for Corner Market Café originated from Sandra Delli Carpini’s memories of her father, Mario Coletta. Mario’s journey was impressive: he emigrated from Italy, served time in the U.S. Army and National Guard, and then established a successful business. He loved his work, spending time with family and friends, and of course – a fresh cup of joe! “The only way to measure a good cup of coffee is to drink it black.” – Mario Coletta
Sandy wasn’t just starting a business; she was honoring the memory of her father. She was intent on recapturing the lost art of customer service. With her deep-seated involvement in every aspect, she ‘baked’ her memories into the café with a thorough thought process behind every decision.
She spent considerable time carefully curating a menu that would echo her personal food preferences and resonate with other likeminded food lovers. Every item on the menu was a reflection of her palate, her favorites, and her experiments, with every bite being consistently the perfect bite. Sandy emphasized that everything must be made with love; like you are serving it to your family and close friends.
To say that Sandy created this café would be an understatement. She breathed life into it, imprinting her personality in every corner and every item served, making it not just a café, but a fond memory of her father. Her method was not just about starting a business; it was her way of sharing a piece of her world with others, of bonding over shared tastes and preferences, and of creating an environment that was unique and special.
Our Coffee
Sandy sought out the best Roast Master to create a custom blend containing a richness and smoothness unmatched by any other. Sourcing only the finest 100% Arabica specialty-grade coffee beans was of high priority. By crafting a blend of meticulously selected beans from the best farms in the world, a harmonious, well-balanced flavor profile embodying a rich character emerged.
Corner Market Café offers three distinct blends. Café, International, and Italian Espresso were each crafted to satisfy your unique coffee craving with a smooth finish on the palette.
- Café Blend: This medium roast is well balanced, slightly acidic, medium bodied, and sweet. The smooth flavor is perfect for your daily coffee fix.
- International Blend: This medium/dark roast is smoky with notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and stone fruit, with a slightly nutty finish. Travel the world through this delightful fusion of global coffee profiles.
- Italian Espresso: This dark roast is savory and smoky. Heavy-bodied, with low acidity, the dark chocolate and caramel flavors enhance the smooth finish. This is the perfect blend for bold espresso enthusiasts.
