After several months of negotiation, the 48th Rituals' Coffee Shop was opened at the National Library of Trinidad and Tobago on August 9th 2012. The opening of a coffee shop in a library is not an original idea as well established libraries and book shops around the world have included this facility for their staff and patrons.

At the National Library, seating has been provided in a designated area for patrons to enjoy their cups of coffee while reading a book or using the library’s Wi-Fi.

CCN TV6’s Business Report of Wednesday 15th August and the Guardian Newspaper’s Editorial of August 10th carried stories on the marriage of “two leading brands.”
