Book-based nonprofit Literary Arts is starting a new chapter with its new on-site cafe. Opening Saturday, June 14, at the Summer Hammer Center in Southeast Portland where it moved last year , the Literary Arts Cafe will serve coffee-based drinks fueled by Upper Left Roasters and treats from Farina Bakery, turning the page this fall with a full food menu. The cafe opens a few hours earlier than Literary Arts’ office, starting at 7 am, with a prize giveaway running on opening day from 9 am to 3 pm.

Upper Left Roasters developed a specially toasted gourmand coffee blend for Literary Arts, described with notes of almond cookie, crisp apple and chocolate mousse. Farina Bakery, meanwhile, will supply pastries including hand pies, pop tarts, vegan coffee cake and French macarons.
