East Passyunk’s Chhaya Café announces a new twist to the "The Citywide" or “The Special.” In what would keep the folks at Bob and Barbara’s buzzing for days, the Chhaya Citywide features a shot of espresso and apourover of coffee for only $4.00 during weekdays after 2:00pm.

Fair trade coffees available for pourover include the choice of a Mexican Chipas, Honduras Capucas, Indian Malabar Monsoon, Guatemalan Chajulense and a rotating fifth selection. Choice of espresso includes a very traditional Italian Parioli from Caffe D'arte or a rotating guest selection.
Chhaya’s Citywide was inspired by the inexpensive pairing of a shot of Jim Beam alongside a PBR Pounder served at dive bars around the city. The new variation is designed to be a real wake-me-up for East Passyunk’s late afternoon crowds that are only just starting to hit their peak by mid-afternoon.

“The Chhaya ‘Citywide’ gives us a chance to showcase our brewing abilities and attention to detail,” says Barista Stephen Welch. “Our afternoon patrons come in to work and talk until we close. It is a win-win as they get a nice coffee buzz while we get to practice our art.”

Descriptions of the fair trade coffees available for pourover include:

Mexican Chiapas: a light-roasted bean featuring a soft natural acidity paired with warm notes of nut and butter
Honduras Capucas: a rich medium roast full of savory oils
Indian Malabar Monsoon: an even bodied coffee with deep chocolate notes and hazelnut undertones
Guatemalan Chajulense: our darkest roast, characterized by a full body and heavy flavors of smoke and tobacco
A rotating fifth coffee is typically offered as a guest roaster

The new Chhaya Citywide is available immediately and will follow Chhaya from their current location at 1823 East Passyunk to their new home on 1817 East Passyunk.
