Downtown Mason is growing, welcoming a new coffee shop to its line-up of locally owned restaurants and drinking destinations along Main Street.  Adesso Coffee opened its doors on March 8, offering traditional Italian espresso beverages as well as a menu focused on seasonal bites that represent the flavors of the Ohio Valley. 

Shop owner and founder of local coffee roaster La Terza Coffee Chuck Pfahler was born in Italy, so choosing an Italian name for his cafe felt like the right way to honor his home country —  also the birthplace of espresso. Adesso means "now," a word which Pfahler resonated with when studying Italian prior to his and his wife's honeymoon to Italy.
