Our New Coffee is Spankin' Fresh!

Throughout our short little life in the beautiful West End of Greenville, we have come to know our neighbors as friends.  Our neighboring business owners, and the wonderful people who work and play downtown have become an important part of our everyday happenings here at Rainer's.  We enjoy the "West End neighborhood gatherings" we experience, the conversation, and the relationships we have created!  Becoming a positive part of the lives of those around us is an integral part of who we are.  We love to make people smile! 


If you've ever came into Rainer's, you know we love to explore and try new things!  We even have a section of our menu devoted to our current experiments, and you can bet there's always something new, exciting, and most importantly, yummy!  It occurred to us, while looking around, that we have a neighbor who just happens to roast some seriously great coffee.  The West End Coffee Company is right around the corner from our chillin' little art gallery flavored "tall dude" cafe...so it was a no-brainer!


We met with Tad, the Co-founder and President of this West End coffee roasting heaven, and the rest is history!  We gathered the troops and headed for a visit to check out what West End Coffee is all about.  The simple act of opening the door and walking inside is a pleasure all by itself!  The aroma is unbelievable...and the coffee, it's even better!  While we were there, we all drank a lot of coffee...well, all except our tall dude Rainer.  He took the non-coffee-drinking, information absorbing approach.  We all had a great time, experimented with various roasts, and made the decision to welcome West End Coffee to Rainer's!  Woo hoo!

Check them out, we love 'em!
West End Coffee is literally just down the street, so we'll always have the freshest roasted coffee for our customers!  In addition to our new Rainer's Blend, we also decided to add some flavored coffees to the mix.  On a rotating basis, we'll have various flavored coffees for you to enjoy too!  Retail packages are available so you can enjoy them at home...but you know you have to come in and enjoy one our super fresh brewed varieties!  While you're at it, don't you forget about our famous french press coffee!


Oh, and the good new continues!  While Rainer was chillin' during our coffee tasting experimentations at West End, he even discovered some sweet new concepts!  So we're expanding our beverage selections to include some kickin' tea smoothies and blended ice coffees.  Can it get any better?  


Who knows what's going to be next around here?!  Guess you'll just have to wait and see.  One thing's for sure though, you'll be hooked on our new tasty concoctions in no time at all!  Just sayin'.  ;-)

Where do our cool tees come from??

Well, it's simple, our cool tSlow Loris....& we LOVEEEEE them. They're so unique, so comfy, & made in the USA!

Check out our very own Slow Shirts online here from the Christopher Park Gallery. You can also come into Rainer's & take one home today!

Here's a little Quick History from Washington's very own Slow Shirts: Slow Loris designs are original drawings hand screened in small editions right here in our studio on Guemes Island. In our 12 years of business, we've never used computers for any designing steps in our illustration process, so every line and color separation you see, was made with my very own double-jointed fingers using an ink pen, xacto knife, and rubylith film. The drawing then, after being exposed onto a screen, is printed by a set of hairy knuckled fingers onto clothing, paper and accessories. This handmade quality is the unique difference you can count on. Team Slow is a partnership between artist and founder Jessica Lynch and newly retired fisherman turned screen printer, Arlo Rumpff. We screen print from a solar powered studio on Alternative apparel organic cotton clothing and American Apparel sweatshop free clothing, as well as various FLA (fair labor association) brands.

We're a Favorite place on Google!

Check out a few of the favorites below, and try scanning a code.


We're proud, because this means we're one of your favorite places...& Google says so!  :)
