The Cafe is a welcome addition to our City, and I look forward to its grand opening later this year." As its eighth Cafe nationwide, San Francisco is a strategic next choice for ING DIRECT. The city celebrates innovation and the Cafe will provide a space for aspiring entrepreneurs to work and collaborate while enjoying a great cup of coffee. Similar to its other locations, the ING DIRECT Cafe will proudly brew a selection of coffees and teas from the Bay Area's own Peet's Coffee & Tea. "This is a unique blend of coffee cafe and online banking," said Peter Keim, General Manager, Food Service and Licensing, Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. "Since our partnership began in 2001, we have been very impressed by ING DIRECT's commitment to our brewing standards. We cannot think of a better place than our own backyard to offer customers a convenient way to get their banking done and enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Peet's."
