In advance of Veterans Day (Nov. 11), we’re proud to announce a retail promotion within our grab-and-go markets: coffee and t-shirts from veteran owned and operated Veteran Roasters Cup O’ Joe.

In recent years, Hyatt has shown support for the veteran community in numerous ways – offering a veteran discount on hyatt.com, making a commitment to hiring veterans.  This year, we will further this work with Chicago-based Veteran Roasters (VR), who produces small batch, craft coffee and other retail items with each sale providing a job opportunity to homeless or at-risk veterans.

Available at 8Block Patisserie

3rd Floor of Hyatt Regency New Orleans

Open: Monday - Friday from 1PM - 5PM

Visit the VR website to learn more about their work.
