Polcari's Coffee

In 1932, Anthony Polcari turned his lifelong dream into reality by establishing Polcari's Coffee. This aspiration had taken root in his heart when he immigrated from Italy at the age of twenty. While employed as a pocket-maker at a nearby tailor's shop, Mr. Polcari diligently saved every penny, envisioning the day he could open his very own coffee shop on Salem St. True to his vision, Polcari's Coffee became a beloved family venture with Mr. Polcari's wife, Rose, and their children (Ralph, Anthony, and Marie) all contributing their efforts to the store. Together, they transformed a dream into a thriving family-owned business. (Submitted by Eric Knight)
