(KNSI) – Cloud Coffee Fest is back for a second year, still with a local flavor but adding a hint of regional shops.
The event is once again being hosted by Kinder Coffee Labs on Cooper Avenue North. Operations Manager Taylor Feero says roasters from the Twin Cities, Duluth, and western Wisconsin will join in the fun. A mini-mug can be purchased at the event for $20. That will get you access to several types of coffee products.
Feero says, “We’ve given a ton of autonomy to each shop and roastery to do kind of what they would like. Each shop and roastery will be providing free pour-over samples. Some shops have espresso machines and will be serving a variety of espresso-based drinks.”
Cold brews, nitro, and specialty beverages are available too. Kinder has an event drink called Chocolate Cloud it will be roasting, featuring white chocolate and vanilla.
Feero says fall is the perfect time to celebrate coffee. “There’s something romantic about the fall in Minnesota, in general. Changing seasons, beautiful colors of the leaves. The heat, generally speaking, is more manageable. You get a cool, crisp morning, which calls for a nice warm cup of coffee.”
Kinder Coffee Labs is located at 203 Cooper Avenue North in St. Cloud. The event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.
