HNB Gourmet Takes Aim At the “Big Business” of Coffees & Teas

While other stores in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex area are bowing their heads to the Starbucks of the world, HNB Gourmet (aka Harry, Nat and Bernie’s) is looking to take a bite out of the Seattle-based mega coffee house’s business.

Our Crack Coffee team is spearheading the operations for the Plano, Texas store and have scoured several different coffee producers and tea importers to bring a more wide array of coffees and teas to their online and retail store operations.

Plans for coffee and tea tastings are currently underway for the anticipated opening of their retail store operations on the corner of Park and Los Rios (near the bordering cities of Parker and Murphy) on a monthly basis.

HNB Gourmet’s primary goal for this endeavor is to bring only the best coffees from around the world to their customer’s doors.

“So many people think that coffee should taste bitter without any other flavors coming through,” says Robert . “We’re hoping to change people’s opinion that coffee needs to have flavor shots and sugar to overpower the bitterness that comes when a company purchases substandard product and then compensates by over-roasting the coffee beans.”

Scott adds, “When coffee beans are over-roasted, they turn the end product bitter rather than bring out the natural flavors.”

Every week, HNB Gourmet will have a “Coffee Break” and an “Afternoon Tea” hosted at their Plano, Texas store. During those days, at specific time periods, customers will be treated to a coffee or tea selection of the day and surely be tempted to try one of the many signature pastries and chocolates that abound
