(Crain's) — Pastoral Artisan Cheese Bread & Wine is providing sandwiches, salads and plates of cheese and charcuterie to sell at Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea Inc.'s three Chicago coffee shops.
Pastoral is making and delivering the offering daily, with menu items changing every other day. Sandwich and salad prices start at $7.50, while plates that include meat, cheese, dried fruit or olives, and toasted breads cost $8. Items will vary by season. The service started Jan. 16.
Intelligentsia follows national coffee chains Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts, which have added breakfast, lunch and snack foods in recent years.
"We consider Pastoral's offerings as a perfect complement to our menu of direct trade coffees and teas," Intelligentsia co-founder Doug Zell said in a statement.
"The Pastoral team is excited to share an exclusive menu of new sandwiches, salads and more with Intelligentsia customers every day," Pastoral Enterprises LLC co-founder Greg O'Neill said in the statement.
Both chains opened in the East Lakeview neighborhood; Intelligentsia in 1995 and Pastoral in 2004. Intelligentsia today has six Chicago locations and coffee bars in Los Angeles. Pastoral Enterprises also has an online site that ships cheese, wine and accompaniments nationally.
