    10 Coffees Worth Checking Out at the North Market Coffee Roast Brunch

    The North Market Coffee Roast returns for a third year this weekend, but the format is changing to mix things up a bit. The event is shifting from Saturday to Sunday and will feature special brunch offerings from select North Market vendors in addition to the coffee samplings from over a dozen Ohio roasters. The event also includes demonstrations, discussions, and a home roasting competition where a winner will be crowned on site.

    We’ve featured nearly every local coffee roaster we can find here on CU, but have narrowed it down to just 10 from Sunday’s lineup that we highly recommend you try out. Of course, you’re always welcome to sample more than these 10, but don’t blame us for the caffeine-induced jittering and shaking that will ensue.
