Announcing the opening of Casa Caffè at Casa Italiana

Casa Italiana – Italian Cultural Center
New to Burien – and opening soon – is Casa Italiana, a gathering place in the Pacific Northwest for all those of Italian descent, as well as those who simply love the culture, foods, sounds and all things Italian.

Casa Caffè Espresso and Pastries
Casa Caffè is opening at Casa Italiana this Saturday, March 13, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Casa is located at 13028 First Ave. S., Burien WA 98168 (the location of the former London House Salon; map below) (Masks are required, as is social-distancing.)

Locally-roasted Coffee
Casa Caffè will be proudly serving coffee from local roaster Caffé D’arte. Various blends of whole beans and ground coffee will be available for purchase. Caffé D’arte uses alder and other types of wood for roasting their coffee. Check out Caffe D’arte’s video of their 1949 coffee roaster, built in Naples, Italy. We are so thankful to Caffé D’arte for their support, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to work together.

Pastries, of Course
Tantalizing, delicious treats will be provided by the masterful, local pastry chefs at Honey and Harmony, and the Belle Epicurean. We will have some classic standards, but also some rotating monthly specials, giving you the chance to indulge in both your favorites and something new.

Special: 200 Free Cannoli
We have a special treat for our first 200 customers: 1 free cannolo with the purchase of a coffee!

Gift-giving Idea
Want to give a unique gift? We have Casa Italiana Gift Cards available for coffee, treats and merchandise at Casa Italiana.
