Geneva Coffee Crawl: See What Local Java Houses Are Participating

GENEVA, IL — The Geneva Coffee Crawl, hosted by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, is set to take place April 22.

Sixteen local businesses will serve coffee-inspired items — including some drinks with a kick meant for those 21 and older — from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Before the crawl begins, the owner of Geneva-based FreshGround Roasting, Eric Andersen, will present an "entertaining talk" about the coffee's background, and how it's grown, processed and sourced. Participants will also find out why it's important to know where their coffee comes from. The presentation will kick off at 10 a.m.
