Established in 2011, and located in the historic Journal Pioneer Building, formerly the Summerside Bank, Samuel’s Coffee House is “steeped” in history, and we’re not just referring to their own full line of specialty teas and coffees: SipT. With a blend of striking architecture and modern furnishings, the cafe utilizes two existing vaults from the former historical bank: one is used as a seating area and the other houses their tea production facilities. At the forefront of the newest trends in coffee and tea, they offer educational, hands-on workshops in brewing methods and espresso making, and their menu mirrors their modern decor with items such as their delightfully bright matcha latte, and faire like their Reuben Sandwich - a delicious delicacy featuring Island Taylored Meats smoked meat, Swiss cheese, local sauerkraut and a homemade secret sauce. Offering catering and event hosting, Samuel’s is a vibrant community hub of culture, coffee, and local healthy food in the core of downtown Summerside.
