If you haven’t heard, we’re churning out homemade gelato downstairs at City Java & News.

Whenever possible we make our gelato with local ingredients.

Check out the video below on how City Java general manager Matthew Pieper turned some local peaches into some delicious gelato.

This is just some of the diversity we offer over at City Loft Hotel.

Fresh peppers from the Beaufort Farmers Market

There’s just something so special about fresh produce, isn’t there?

This time of year in Beaufort, SC we have a farmers market in a different section of the county nearly every day. And when we say Farmers Market, we mean ‘everything’ market. You can find everything from vegetables to incredible breads, plants, corn hole sets and the best barbecue sandwich and dumplings you’ve ever bitten into.

When you stay at City Loft we often try to bring the Farmers Market to you. It’s not unusual to find a big basket of fresh veggies and fruits downstairs at City Java & News.

City Java only does fresh

When we can we try to incorporate those local foods into our dishes.

So if you’re coming from out of town we hope you’ll stay with us and then take the time to visit some of our wonderful markets and vendors. A full list of markets in the area, when they’re held and where you can find them can be found at TheDigitel Beaufort.

City Java & News is proud to support our local farmers by purchasing

locally grown organic produce whenever possible
