Proud to be back at Taste of Hope for our 11th year. 💜

Cancer has touched so many of us in deeply personal ways. Supporting research and care is a cause close to our hearts, and we’re grateful to stand alongside Chicago’s incredible chefs and restaurants in support of the American Cancer Society.

Over coffee, matcha, and tahini lattes, we caught up with old friends and made new ones across the table. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to share a cup, and to everyone whose work makes this evening possible year after year.

It means a lot to be part of this community. See you next year, Taste of Hope!

Our head roaster Diego leads a tasting of October's monthly drop El Carmelo Reserve, Oscar Red Honey. No nonsense, just people letting the cup unfold and telling you what they found. We taste red apple, cherries, milk chocolate, and honey.

Welcome back to Coffee Agora, pour yourself a cup and join the conversation. 💪☕️
