Our recent quest for coffee and wifi took us to a Carrollton roastery that has been a neighborhood staple for a long time.
You can observe Parks Coffee's roastery operations through glass windows while sipping on your drink.
Flashback: The Parks family started the company in the 1980s out of their Carrollton garage.
The roastery supplies coffee for businesses in Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, Louisiana and California. Photos and mugs depicting the history are set up behind the barista workspace.
