It is with great regret that we announce our closing. For three years we have offered Belleville a vibe it was missing, not to mention great music, art and the best coffee in town. Alas, the demand for what we offered was not strong enough to sustain us. We thank you for your support over the years. We will fondly remember all the good times, the laughter and sometimes tears over a warm brew with you, our friends. Stay in touch with us on our webstie (oregontrailroasting.com) or on Facebook. If you have a gift card with any value on it, please email us at david@oregontrailroasting.com.
In the mean time, we recommend you get your caffeine fix at The Abbey in West Belleville.
All the Best, Always
Andrea, Chesney, Kara and David

The event in free, so spread the word and bring a friend–you won’t want to miss this one.

Richard Krueger won our 31 August 2010 email list contest. We started the contest at the Scott Air Force Base Year of the Family Picnic back in June and received hundreds of entries. As promised, we held a random drawing to determine the winner of the Keurig brand Single Cup coffee brewer with K-Cup (which allows you to use our fresh roasted coffee instead of the Keurig pre-packaged coffee brands). Richard Krueger’s entry was selected from over six hundred. Here’s a photo of Richard accepting the prize in the coffee shop.
