He repeated, "Estrada de Terra," pointing up the slope. I racked my brain, trying to figure it out. "Terra... Terra... Earth! Dirt!" And then it clicked—“Dirt Road!” I was so excited to have figured out the phrase! I could see the joy on Ibrahim's face as well. At that moment, we were truly connected.

As temperatures rise, cold coffee becomes a daily ritual for many—but not all iced coffee is created equal. At first glance, cold brew and iced coffee may look the same in your cup, but how they’re brewed, how they taste, and how they feel on your palate are completely different stories.

It’s been five unforgettable years since we opened our doors in Overland Park, and we couldn’t have done it without you. To celebrate this milestone, we’re hosting a weeklong series of featured coffees that reflect the craftsmanship, community, and curiosity at the heart of Parisi — culminating in an open house event you won’t want to miss.
