What Sets Peaberry Coffee Apart from Regular Coffee Beans? Peaberry coffee refers to a type of coffee bean that develops as a single, round, and small seed inside the coffee cherry, rather than the usual two flat-sided beans. It occurs in about 5-10% of coffee cherries and is often considered a prized specialty coffee.

My wife first visited Caffè Rosano in the Spring of 2019 while on a trip to Italy with some of her girlfriends.  She was so captivated by Italy as a whole, then Florence and specifically, Caffè Rosano she said, “I want to take you back to Italy and Florence and we’ve got to go to Caffè Rosano”.  So we did in February of 2020. Enjoy our short slide show above! Notice the “Aubie” car tag we added to their decor!
