"Downtown Dallas has a brand new coffee destination that’s 150 years in the making in the Berni Bean Coffee Company. Located at the base of the Hartford Building, the coffee shop is the brainchild of brother-and-sister team Giuliana and Stefano Bernini, who founded the shop to share their family’s 150-year-old coffee tradition. The shop features three unique roasts, including pepiada and Don Flor, named after the family’s patriarch Florentino Castro Soto. Berni Bean Coffee Company plans to donate 1 percent of the proceeds from their 100 percent Arabica coffee to organizations working to preserve Costa Rican rainforest. They are also supporting local bakers by serving pastries from Uptown’s Bisous Bisous Patisserie." - Rachel Pinn
