A picture would be helpful.

So sorry....I meant to add the attached link to the other possibility besides Coffee plant.

Here is a link that might be useful: Ardisia crispa

thanks... I'll grab a photo of it later today. I took one on my phone, but my laptop's bluetooth isn't working so I'll have to use a camera.

Could it be several coffee beans planted in one pot? When they are young, of course the stems would be green instead of brown. I bought several coffee plants in a single 4 inch pot years ago and raised one of them to a two or 3 foot tree in a few years. Unfortunately it got thrown out when I moved.

Here's a photo of the plant in question, hopefully this helps identify it.

Looks more like coffee than the Ardisia I suggested.

thanks yeah. I had a look at the Ardisia, but the leaves looked a bit too long and thin to be this plant. Can you see on the photo what I mean about the stems?

These are definitely Coffee, as I said. Look the same as the one I bought years ago. Several coffee beans planted in one pot.

Definately Coffee.

Carlie, is the pic you posted, your plant or a stock pic? Toni

It doesn't look like the one coffee plant I saw which had very shiny, stiff holly-like leaves. And it seems odd to me for you to find it in a supermarket, since it is kind of an exotic houseplant. But, I googled it and found several images that do look like your plant. So, you may have found something special. It's attractive, in any case.

I bought my coffee plants, several in a 4 inch pot, in a supermarket several years ago, think it was like $2.99. Not odd at all; quite common now, really.

I too got my Coffee and Ardisia at the grocery store. They're no longer considered rare. Toni
