That grocery store pod? It was roasted long before it hit the shelf. Coffee starts losing flavor within weeks of roasting — which is why your morning cup tastes flat, no matter how nice your machine is.

Angelino's does it differently. A third-generation roaster in Los Angeles, they roast, grind, and seal every pod in-house for peak freshness, then ship it to your door within days of roasting. The difference is the first thing you'll notice: real aroma, real flavor, no bitterness.

Mix and match from 50+ specialty coffees, teas, and flavored blends — all Keurig®-compatible — and save more with every box you add, up to 34% off at 12+. Order once whenever you're running low, or subscribe for an extra 5% if that's easier. Entirely up to you.

New customers get 15% off their first order — applied automatically, no code needed.

KENNETT SQUARE, PA — Police say a security pickup truck was taken from Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square just before 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The theft triggered a search that began in Chester County and ended in Delaware County, where officers apprehended the driver in the 100 block of King of Prussia Road in Radnor Township. The truck was subsequently towed from the scene. Authorities have not released the suspect's identity or said what charges may follow, and it remains unclear how the driver obtained the vehicle or whether the incident affected operations at the garden

WEST CHESTER, PA — A neighborhood nonprofit is leading an $88,000 restoration of the 118-year-old gazebo in Everhart Park, the rustic wood-and-fieldstone structure that bridges Black Horse Run and anchors the park's converging paths. The Friends of Everhart Park is funding the entire project through private donations, with $55,000 raised to date, and has declined grants and borough money. Phase one replaces makeshift pressure-treated guardrails with rustic wood rails set in new mortar and refurbishes rafter facings, eave decking, floor facings and benches using rot-resistant lumber and freshly sourced eastern red cedar. Phase two installs a thicker, pressure-treated cedar-shake roof, adds a copper-clad attic hatch, and launches a long-term maintenance schedule. The gazebo, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a favored spot for weddings, photos and neighborly meetups, and the group has funded numerous park upgrades over the years.
