Let’s talk about coffee

Their coffee is responsibly grown on family farms in Bali by local farmers and roasted right here in Philadelphia. When you order an espresso, Americano, or a black cup of joe at Waterfront Gourmet, know that it was brewed with the finest, freshest, responsibly sourced ingredients from Bali, Indonesia.

These standards include ecosystem conservation, wildlife protection, and fair treatment and good working conditions for workers.

Can You Actually Save Money with Catering Services?

March 5, 2021, 0 Comment

It’s a thought you may have conjured up yourself at some point: “Can I actually save money with catering services?” Anyone who’s ever been responsible for planning a gathering, from an intimate family party to a huge reunion knows the strife and stress of preparing entertainment, securing responses to invitations, and planning out meals and refreshments.

ABOUT HANNA

I was born and raised in Bali, Indonesia, where I studied food and hospitality. In 2001 I immigrated to the U.S. to immerse myself in the diverse food culture, and to pursue my dream. I’ve worked in the food industry to hone my craft ever since. Waterfront Gourmet is a passion of mine and a dream that became reality in early 2014. My vision for Waterfront Gourmet is to maintain an atmosphere of comfort – merging the elements of a cozy cafe, with top-quality deli cuisine. I strive to make sure that every sandwich I make takes something familiar and presents it to you in a new and exciting way. The combination of my technique and passion stirs together to create deli favorites that are a delicate blend of old and new. My menu will never be finished. Instead it’s always evolving and changing as I hone and perfect my craft.
