FORT MYERS, Fla. (Sept. 25, 2017) \u2013Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast will celebrate 2017\u2019s National Coffee Day with free coffee.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Sept. 29, 2016, from 6 to 10 a.m., Bennett\u2019s will offer a free 12-ounce Sumatra Mandehling Estate coffee, while supplies last.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bennett\u2019s is known as the premier in-shop coffee roaster in Southwest Florida. They skillfully roast their coffee in micro batches as soon as the day before it\u2019s ground, brewed and served, avoiding off flavors like bitterness and rancidity so often present in coffee roasted by less experienced roasters.<\/p>\n

National Coffee Day is celebrated annually on September 29. People across the United States celebrate one of the most beloved morning beverages on this day. There are many\u00a0legendary\u00a0accounts of how coffee first came to be but the earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or the knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the 15th century in the\u00a0SUFI<\/em>\u00a0monasteries around Mokha in Yemen. \u00a0It was here where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed, similarly to how\u00a0it is prepared today. \u00a0Yemeni traders brought coffee back to their homeland from Ethiopia and began to cultivate the seed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bennett\u2019s Fresh Roast has prided itself on its fresh-from-scratch donuts made daily. In addition to fresh roasted coffee and hand-cut-from-scratch donuts, Bennett\u2019s also offers fresh desserts from Grissinger\u2019s own recipe book including praline bread pudding and lemon bars, giving area residents an alternative for afternoon treats. It also features packaged whole bean or ground coffees, breakfast muffins, oatmeal and breakfast sandwiches. On the weekends, Bennett\u2019s Strata (a layered baked breakfast dish) is a regular sellout. Tea lovers may choose from a large variety of Harney & Sons Fine Teas. Lunch offerings, including paninis, soups, sandwiches, three signature salads and Bennett\u2019s\u00a0 \u2018Lobster Roll\u2019, \u2018Chicken & Donut\u2019 and \u2018Donut Dog,\u2019 are available Monday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n Bennett\u2019s is located at 2011 Bayside Parkway and is open Monday through Sunday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
