The Fidalgo Coffee Blog

That one word can excite or terrify you, depending on your perspective regarding what is at stake.  Welcome to the Fidalgo Coffee community where we offer coffee solutions from both viewpoints.

Tony Robbins is a great encourager. He is known for saying: “Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start getting excited about what could go right.”

The 3 C’s in life are Choice, Chance, and Change. Welcome back to the Fidalgo Coffee Community. We don’t know how you discovered us, but we are grateful you chose to take a chance and change to Fidalgo Coffee. We appreciate your loyalty and want to be a part of the joy you create for yourself and others every day.

Our mission is to help you discover your perfect cup of coffee. September is a month of transition. Is it time for you to consider Fidalgo’s seasonal Fall Harvest Blend? It could be your perfect cup of coffee.

Are you an introvert? Or an extrovert? Or do you consider yourself somewhere in between the two classic personality types? Regardless of how you are wired, we all need downtime to rest, relax and recharge so we can live our best lives - for ourselves and others.

The long days of summer are a perfect time to get the extra R&R we crave. If you are an introvert, you may prefer coffee on the deck by yourself, allowing time to consider the day ahead. If you are an extrovert, you may choose to invite your neighbors to join you for coffee and create a mini-social.

Ready for a new coffee adventure? Our mission is to help you discover your perfect cup. For an afternoon treat this summer, how about trying a cold brew?

As a member of the Fidalgo Coffee community, we want to share with you one of our favorite recipes:  Cold Brew Guandolo. It’s a traditional Columbian drink coffee farmers enjoy after a hard day’s work because it is both cold and refreshing. We hope you give it a try and you love it.

We're all more than ready for springtime this year. Fidalgo Coffee Roaster's delicious, flavorful coffee sustained us through the cold months. But now it's time to put the frigid weather behind us and wade through drifts of vibrantly hued tulips, as we sip a java made just for spring.

The 2022 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival has begun. It's a wonderful seasonal celebration that takes place each year in and around the towns of Whitney, Fredonia, Mount Vernon, Burlington, Avon, and Skagit City, in the state of Washington. Locals love the festival and many visitors from across the continent make a trek to see the tulips an annual springtime ritual.

“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.” This optimism is attributed to Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady of the United States.

Hope is energy. Hope opens the heart, mind, and soul. Emerging science tells us that hope even makes us healthy. Hope is so vital, April has become the “National Month of Hope.”  So, take a sip of coffee, clear your mind, and visualize a new situation, whether it is about your health, a relationship, your career, or the dreams of your heart.

Irish legend says that each leaf of the clover has a meaning: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and, if you can find a 4-leaf clover, the fourth leaf represents luck.

You are a “fourth leaf” to us here at Fidalgo Coffee. Thank you for your monthly coffee subscription and for being a member of our coffee community. We are lucky to have you as our customer and aspire to be like a good Irish friend to you: never above you, never below you – always with you.

A light-bodied, dark chocolate-colored coffee, Koma Kulshan has the wonderful aroma of cocoa, caramel, and milk chocolate. A perfect accompaniment to tiramisu, it also goes well with buttery scones, chocolate croissants, and chocolate truffles.
