Daily News | Remedee coffee brings a micro batch roastery to a beach block garage in Atlantic City
“I think the same craft wave that happened to beer is going to happen to coffee,” Amanda said. “Hoping we are still at the beginning of that wave.”
The Escobar sisters’ Atlantic City roots date to 1994, when their father Diego Escobar, a mechanical and electrical engineer and Colombian immigrant, took on the restoration of an abandoned Victorian home on Bartram Avenue, they said. “For decades, they’ve been steadfast in preserving the historic charm of Lower Chelsea and believing in the beauty & potential of A.C., while pouring each other countless cups of coffee,” the sisters said in a message over Instagram. “Now, it’s A & C’s turn to be a remedy for A.C., while honoring their Colombian roots.”
While both sisters have full-time jobs — Amanda runs a boutique strategy and content marketing business, and Colie is a nurse headed to Johns Hopkins in the fall — they said they have bigger ambitions for Remedee.
