We cannot wait to start brewing our very own Backyard Beans roast, Common Grounds Brew, starting on Monday, August 3! Join us Monday for tastings, a raffle and branded merchandise with folks from Backyard Beans and Common Grounds! We'll be selling beans in 12-ounce retail bags as well as grinding and brewing the beans in-house for our drip coffee and espresso. We are so excited to be partnering with our Lansdale neighbor!

Backyard Beans will be here Monday from 9am to 1pm, but you can come by any Monday through Friday from 9am to 1pm to try the new brew and tell us what you think!

It takes a community ❤️ We asked local partners to share what Manna on Main Street means to them, and why programs like Common Grounds matter. Thank you to our partners who help make this work possible every day.
