The Town of North Hempstead held a ribbon cutting Tuesday at For Five Coffee Roasters at Plandome Road and Park Avenue in Manhasset.

The New York-based company roasts its coffee in Queens and has two Manhattan stores on West 46th Street and on the 64th floor of One World Trade Center.

“We saw that nobody was venturing into Long Island because no one understood it, but we know Long Island,” co-owner Tom Tsiplakos said. “We felt that if we built a flagship in Manhasset, we would also gain brand awareness to the people of Long Island and then start getting more traction on the wholesale side.”
