National Coffee Month is nearing its end but that doesn't mean you're going to stop drinking coffee.

The caffé and market just opened in Old Town, marking the first location in the U.S. If you can't afford a trip to Italy to sip coffee at a cafe, you're in luck: you can enjoy two different types of coffee blends at Carluccio's.
