Scott Conary, Owner at Open Eye Café, Caffe Driade, and Carrboro Coffee Roasters
And now it’s time for our weekly feature, This is Tourism, produced in partnership with the Orange County Visitors Bureau. This morning I’m joined by Scott Conary. He’s the owner of well known and frequented local establishments Caffe Driade, Open Eye Café, and Carrboro Coffee Roasters. His coffee is enjoyed in nearly 100 retail, restaurant and café locations from the coast to the mountains of North Carolina, and 41 of them are right here in Orange County. Scott is a hard man to pin down! He’s all over the map, consulting restaurants, meeting farmers to source the best coffee beans in the world, and judging international barista competitions. Thank you for being here with us!
The No Quarter Coffee Stout is back! Our friends at Steel Sting Brewery brew this every year with our cold pressed Guatemala La Providencia coffee from Juan Francisco Pira. It’s an 8.0% coffee and oatmeal stout that features an intense coffee aroma and flavor, with a finish of semi-sweet cocoa. This batch has an additional infusion of our Ethiopia ARDI for floral and berry notes.
Don’t miss its return to the Tap Room for the colder months, and grab bottles at both Open Eye Cafe & Caffe Driade!

We are kicking off the holidays with our 2019 Holiday Featured Coffee!
This year’s Holiday Coffee features two of our Direct Relationship coffees from Producer Partner Anabela Meneses at Santa Felisa Estate in Guatemala. After carefully combining them, they remind us of the flavors and the comforts of the season.
The La Rosa- Yellow Catuai varietal gives us wonderful notes of melon, grape & honey, while the rare & delicate Dwarf Gesha varietal adds the exotic floral aroma to this unique pairing. The result is floral and cranberry along with red currant flavor, with a touch of hibiscus; all wrapped up in a silky, honey sweet body with notes of vanilla & black tea in the finish.
It is perfect for waking up with on cool mornings or paired with seasonal desserts, and makes a great gift!

Join us on July 25th at Carrboro Coffee Roasters for an informative, fun, and ultimately inspiring screening of Gender in Coffee – A Documentary to learn how gender inequalities impact farming families and communities and to participate in a lively discussion to get to the heart of the issues and solutions.
Coffee farming families around the world face enormous daily challenges that put them, and your delicious cup of coffee, at risk. The Partnership for Gender Equity works to ensure farming is viable for all members of the family – women, men, and youth; on whom the entire industry depends.
Seating is limited so be sure to reserve your seat here. All funds raised will go to support the Equal Origins initiative of The Partnership for Gender Equity.

We hope to see you there!
