La Prima Tazza celebrates 25th birthday with special deals

As I’ve made everyone in the newsroom — and the Journal-World’s online readership — aware, I don’t drink coffee. But I know plenty of you out there do, so I have a bit of coffee-centric news for you.

La Prima Tazza, 638 Massachusetts St., is turning 25 this weekend. To celebrate its silver anniversary, the coffee shop is offering a special deal to customers: 25 percent off lattes, plus La Prima Tazza travel mugs and T-shirts marked down to $5.

A perennial Best of Lawrence winner, La Prima Tazza calls itself the “first and oldest coffee shop in town.” Since 1990, it’s won over customers with its signature espresso and longtime favorites like the Grasshopper, a minty coffee drink that landed a spot on our “9 drink wonders of Lawrence” article last fall.

The 25th birthday offer stands Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so snag your discounted goodies while you still can.
