Barnie's Coffee Kitchen:

Barnie's Coffee and Tea Company has been a leading contender in Florida's coffee industry for the past 3 decades. In October of 2011 the shop re-opened it's doors as Barnie's Coffee Kitchen on Park Avenue. Previously, Barnie's featured a variety of coffees, teas, and a small selection of snacks. Now, the company offers not only 50 or more different flavors of coffee, but also a range of breakfast and lunch choices that are made from scratch.

What's On the New Menu:

A number of their coffee blends have been awarded the Cup of Excellence, which is the most prestigious honor in the coffee industry. Barnie's will continue to serve its' customers with the highest quality coffee and tea brews.
One of the main focuses of Barnie's new approach will be in-store roasting. Rather than focusing on retail and take-out beverages, Barnie's will be providing a relaxing environment where their patrons can enjoy a hand-crafted coffee of their choice.

Breakfast:

As for the food, dishes will primarily revolve around spices and seasonings that correlate well with the underlying flavors in their coffee. The breakfast menu will be comprised of pastries that are baked fresh daily, unique egg dishes, and many healthy choices. Breakfast will be served daily, beginning at 7:00am.

Lunch:

Lunch, served daily from 11am till closing offers a large selection of salads, soups panini. An added bonus to the flavorful menu are the Tartine - a French style of open faced sandwich with refined toppings like smoked salmon, Wagyu Beef Carpaccio and Tuna Nicoise. The large portions are perfect for sharing, especially if a small soup or salad is added.
For a appetizer or evening snack, try one of the shared plates. My favorite is the Avocado Mash, a wonderful portion of chopped avocado lightly seasoned with cilantro and lime, served with blue corn and pita chips.

Desserts:

Whether you are having a light dinner at Barnie's or are having dinner on the Avenue, Barnie's is the perfect place to stop in for coffee and dessert. Decadent choices include warm apple pie, NY cheesecake and the most amazing Carrot Spice Cake. A few other tasty indulgences include the Coffee custard, dark chocolate pudding and Turkish Latte Pot de Crème.
Barnie's Coffee Kitchen will be open Sunday through Thursday until 7:00 and until 10:00pm on Friday and Saturday. The lunch and dessert menu will be available daily until closing.

All Star Staff:

Barnie's is the proud home of James Duncan, an incredibly talented master barista, who is the recent winner of the Latte Art Challenge in the Ultimate Barista Challenge hosted in Shanghai, China. James was the only representative from the USA at the event which took place at the 15th annual International Exhibition for Food, Drink, Hospitality, Foodservice, Bakery and Retail Industries.
Duncan has over 5 years of experience in the industry and has won a number of regional competitions, as well. He is exceptionally passionate about the art-form and creativity that goes into creating each one of his carefully hand-crafted espresso beverages.
Barnie's is also extremely excited to present their new dishes that were developed by the company's culinary team which is led by Collette Haw, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Patrons will be very pleased with the overwhelming difference from competitor's pre-packaged items.

The company will be remodeling all of its'corporate stores by mid-2012. There will also be another store addition in the heart of downtown Orlando, at the City Arts Factory, in 2011.
