Good mornings start with good coffee. In 2011, we partnered with Progress Coffee, then just a few streets away, to create our custom Heywood Blend. Medium-bodied with lower acidity and notes of cocoa and citrus, it’s been our favorite ever since, and the start to more than 5,000 great mornings for our guests.

Supporting local makers has always been a big part of our mission at the Heywood, and this collaboration has been central to our story from day one.

Thanks to the good beans at Progress Coffee for 14+ years of friendship, partnership, and fuel for so many Heywood days.
