It's tea and coffee time at the Cook's Warehouse Brookhaven.  Join us on Saturday from 3 pm to 5 pm as we show off the wonderful products we offer for the perfect cup of coffee or tea!  We have a colorful selection of teapots, teakettles as well as top of the line coffee makers such as Jura, Moccamaster,  and Nespresso.  Join us for a delicious cup!  

 

Decatur Weat Free Breakfast Foods

 

  

 

This week, we take great pride in presenting a great new product line from Decatur, Weat Free Breakfast Foods. Weat Free is just as the name implies - "without wheat". Weat Free also means "we eat free" of the allergens you see in foods today which includes gluten, dairy, soy and nuts.  For years eating gluten-free meant that you might have to go without or sacrifice the flavor of your foods. The folks at Weat Free  have spent countless hours mixing and experimenting with a variety of ingredients to make the best breakfast foods you can enjoy without sacrificing great taste. Stop by between 3 and 5 to witness how tasty they are. We're also tasting the Wines of France this week.

 

East Cobb - Sweet Heat Brownie Bites

Nothin' spells lovin' like a little somethin' from our oven! And this Saturday afternoon, that little somethin' is our famous Sweet Heat Brownie Bites, made delicious with the addition of Fire and Flavor Coffee Rub, a touch of chipotle and coffee in a multi-tasking rub! They'll be baked right in our USA pans, our favorite bakeware for perfect results and easy clean-up. Stop by for a tasty hot and sweet treat, and grab a copy of the recipe, so that you can share it with your loved ones anytime!

 
 

Midtown - Coeur � la Cr�me

 

 

 

St. Valentine's Day is only days away so we are serving a savory coeur � la cr�me for you to sample. What is a coeur � la cr�me, you ask? A traditional heart-shaped creamy molded French confection usually served for dessert with a fruit sauce. Stop by to see how easy (and impressive) it is to make and surprise the loved one in your life with your own version!
