There are TWO amazing parts to Anthony’s Small Batch Roasters and the coffee that we roast. The first is that our coffee is sold in bag form, so that it can be enjoyed at anytime and anywhere. Secondly, the flexibility this provides for allows anyone to enjoy our smooth, bold and distinctly Southern Maine flavor at any time of day. Those unexpected moments when you find yourself drinking coffee at times you wouldn’t normally think to do so are often the most enjoyable, and dedicated ASBR drinkers know this is one of the most special parts about small batch roasts like ours. While coffee is a beloved morning pick-me-up, Anthony's Small Batch Roasters takes pride in crafting rich, satisfying flavors that can be enjoyed in the evening as well. In fact, just as some of our roasts are crafted to get you out of bed and through the day, a few of them are curated to be enjoyed during later hours. Their bold, deep flavor profiles make them the perfect pairing with desserts or late-night snacks - which our bakery has you covered with. That being said, we thought we’d walk you through three of our favorite combinations that might just become your new favorite way to end the day so that the next time you come in for a coffee or a freshly baked dessert, you already know exactly how to wow your tastebuds with the taste of Southern Maine that Anthony's unmistakably is.
1. Fresh Fruit Turnover & Moka Java Medium Roast
Our flaky, buttery Fresh Fruit Turnovers are filled with seasonal fruit flavors that bring just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. Needless to say, they're baked fresh in-house. Pictured to the left is a batch on May 29th pulled right out of the oven! Pair one with our Moka Java Medium Roast, a smooth, coffee with a rich finish made with beans imported from the Island of Java. The bright fruit notes and the soft, chewy texture from the turnover complement the roast’s exotic, rich character. This pairing, inspired by tradition, is perfect for starting your day, enjoying a relaxing afternoon, or opting for something that inspires early morning vibes for a bit of an energy boost in the evening.
2. Pumpkin Bread & Colombian Decaf Medium Roast
For those looking to savor the moment right before they go to bed without having to stay up a few extra hours, our homemade Pumpkin Bread pairs beautifully with our Colombian Decaf Medium Roast. The warm spices and moist texture of the pumpkin bread are enhanced by the coffee’s smooth, mellow flavor profile. With this roast being our most popular decaf option, it's only fitting for it to be paired with another beloved, timeless classic from our bakery. This comforting combination is ideal as a sweet, after dinner treat perfect for those who prefer a more mellow, less sugary dessert as well as those who are looking to wind down.
3. Whoopie Pie & Wiggly Bridge Distillery / ASBR Collaboration Medium Roast
When you’re ready to indulge, reach for one of our giant, irresistible Whoopie Pies alongside our Wiggly Bridge Distillery / Anthony’s Small Batch Roasters Collaboration Medium Roast. The rich chocolate notes accompanied by the sugary taste of the icing are balanced out by the coffee’s smooth, dessert-like roast profile. With our beans aged in bourbon barrels down the street at the Wiggly Bridge Distillery, these two create a pairing that’s both decadent and satisfying. For those seeking the ultimate taste of York during the later hours, look no further than this local collaboration celebrating the best of what the region has to offer.
