A Smooth Classic American Roast America's Coffee since 1859 – The Broadway Blend; a unique blend joining the best of both worlds: Beans with a smooth and rich aroma are roasted to a classic American Roast. They are then combined with smoky, full bodied French Roast coffees. This combination creates a flavorful, robust brew that is both savory and smooth. Broadway Blend is named after the New York City street of our first coffee roastery. The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company was founded in 1859 and was America’s original supermarket. For over 150 years A&P has filled coffee pots and tea cups across America. From its earliest roastery on Broadway & Bleeker Street in New York City, A&P grew to become a household name with products found in kitchens all over America.
