How do we get it to taste so good?

Unlike most coffee shops, which sell you regular coffee that was chilled in the fridge, we cold brew our iced coffee. In a top-secret chamber hidden deep below Clark Park, accessible only through a small passageway that is fingerprint-access-controlled, a select corps of Green Line baristas use a specially-designed cold-brew toddy method which takes 24 hours to complete. This process transforms the many pounds of organic fair-trade coffee into a super-strong concentrate.  Not only is the cold-brew process more fuel efficient, it also produces a terrific smooth flavor that you can’t get by icing down hot-brewed coffee. Now get down here! It’s hot outside!

(OK..OK…the special corps is Steve and he makes it in the kitchen…we use the secret chamber for other stuff. WHAT?!)

We will be participating by offering up the following treasures for just a buck:  grilled tofu sandwich sliders, 10 oz. iced coffee, small hot brewed coffee and teas, and turkey & cheddar sandwich sliders!

WHAT: The grand re-opening of Green Line Powelton. All are welcome to complimentary coffee and treats as we celebrate Green Line’s impressive new façade and mural.

WHO: Green Line Powelton and University City District

WHEN: Friday, June 11, 4-6pm

WHERE: Green Line Café, 3649 Lancaster Avenue

The locally-owned Green Line Cafe established its third location on Lancaster Avenue in Powelton Village in 2007.  Taking over a previously existing coffeehouse business, owners Daniel Thut and Douglas Witmer slowly and steadily made improvements to the cafe, but didn’t do the kind of complete building overhaul they have become known for at 43rd and Baltimore, or at 45th and Locust…until now.

On June 11, The Green Line invites the public to celebrate the newly renovated café, made possible with funding from University City District.  The brightly colored building facade has been restored to its historic configuration with a large plate glass window facing the street.  The Green Line has also completed a retro-style hand-painted sign on the side of the building, which, with its 30-foot span, creates a new public landmark.

During the grand re-opening celebration, visitors will be treated to free Green Line organic and Fair-Trade coffee, as well as a spread of food samples from the Green Line’s own expanding menu of freshly prepared grab-and-go items.  There will also be raffle prizes, music, and other fun stuff!

With new work showing from local artist Jason Hsu!

Drop by today!
