May’s Foodie News

Coffee and wine lovers will both have a lot to be happy about this month.

>> CAFFEINE CHILL: Peloton Cold Brew, the newest bottled-coffee contender, was developed in West Chester. Its beans are steeped for 24 hours—12 longer than your standard cup. You can find it at Julie Anne’s Place in Malvern, plus Dia Doce and Yori’s Church Street Bakery in West Chester. To learn more, visit www.pelotoncoldbrew.com.

>> CHEF SHUFFLES: Clark Gilbert (previously of Gemelli and Bisou) has joined Conshohocken’s Isabella as its executive chef, so expect the Mediterranean-style cuisine to feature some Franco-Italian influences. View the full menu at www.barisabella.com.
