PARISI CAFÉ SERVES FREE COFFEE IN HONOR OF NATIONAL COFFEE DAY

Kansas Citians are invited to recharge… for free in celebration of National Coffee Day. From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, September 28 Parisi Café at Kansas City’s Union Station is offering a free cup of coffee in celebration of an annual coffee holiday.

 The local artisan coffee roaster opened its first café inside Union Station’s Grand Hall one year ago. For the past six years, the company has sold 100-percent Arabica bean, drum-roasted coffee in local grocery stores, as well as custom blends for a number of well-known area restaurants.

This is the first retail location for Parisi Coffee with a second location scheduled to open in late fall in Leawood at Park Place at 115^th Street and Nall. The Café, 30 W. Pershing Road, Kansas City, Mo., is open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. through 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
