Academia del Caffe designed
as Ultimate Authentic Italian Cafe Experience

Academia del Caffé, an extension of the Hausbrandt Café’, distinguishes itself as an authentic Italian cafe.
Modeling their cafes and products after the cafes in Italy, they import all of their coffee and many of their products from the country.

Academia del Caffé was established to educate consumers on coffee and the coffee process while giving them the opportunity to experience a true Italian espresso or cappuccino. All Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment are also made and imported from Italy.

The beverage menu at Academia del Caffé includes Italian staples like cappuccino, espresso, latte, and macchiato, as well as a wide variety of teas, smoothies, and iced coffee drinks.

The café will also offer pastries including croissants, danishes, and scones. Additionally, the menu will offer a wide variety of traditional Italian salads, sandwiches, and 30 varieties of Panini.

Among the Salads:

• Torino (mixed greens, bleu cheese, apple, walnuts, and carrots)
• Milano (mixed greens, buffalo mozzarella, tuna, tomato, and mushrooms)

Best choice Panini:

• Montanaro (Italian prosciutto, brie, champignon mushrooms, and mayonnaise)
• Rustico (pancetta, scamorza, and tomato)
• Canadese (smoked salmon, goat cheese, and arugula)

And some Specialty sandwiches:

• Valtellina (Bresaola – Italian air-cured beef, arugula, tomato, mushrooms, lemon, and pepper)
• Merano (Speck – smoked prosciutto from Northeast Italy, prosciutto di parma, herbed prosciutto, provolone cheese, Swiss cheese, and artichokes)

The original Café Hausbrandt opened in 2003, bringing the ambiance and coffee of an authentic Italian coffeehouse to Philadelphia.

After noticing the familiar brand from his hometown of Trieste, Italy, Massimo Taurisano, 38, and his wife Carrie Lapp, 33, purchased the coffee shop and founded the US Import Company in 2004.

A year later they brought in two friends & partners from Italy, husband and wife Nicoletta Pavanello Stocco, 31 and Massimiliano (Max) Tuccone, 39, who, with several years of experience in Milano, Italy, join them in expanding the business with the 6 new locations and a mission to bring International café culture to Philadelphia.
