For some-more than a decade, clinging coffee drinkers have been vagrant a organisation during Blanchard’s Coffee Roasting Co. to open a cafe. That time has finally come.
Well, almost. The internal roastery, that has been roasting sustainably-sourced specialty coffee given 2005, announced a skeleton to open not one though dual coffeehouses in Richmond this summer and subsequent spring.
“We get tons of seductiveness from people who can’t make it to a fry lab during work hours,” says Stephen Robertson, executive of sales and marketing. “We wish to make a space for people who are awaiting some-more of a coffee emporium experience.”
The initial location, in a ancestral building on a 3100 retard of West Broad Street, is slated to make a entrance in Jun or Jul of this year. In a open of 2020, a second emporium will open nearby a intersection of Forest Hill Avenue and Westover Hills Boulevard, in a same growth as a Veil Brewing Co.’s small-batch brewery and tasting room.
Beloved blends like a Handshake and Dark as Dark will be accessible during a coffee shops, of course, and Robertson says a menu will also yield opportunities to bend out a small with some-more single-origin coffees. A square of apparatus by Marco Beverage Systems Ltd., that Robertson describes as a “somewhat programmed pour-over system,” will concede a shops to offer some-more by-the-cup variety.
“We’ll have a lot some-more selections, and we can offer formed on a marketplace price. So if people wish to get brave and try something a small different, they can try it by a cup,” Robertson says. “It also reduces rubbish and keeps all consistent.”
The organisation drew impulse from Longoven for a decor, and Robertson describes it as “really comfortable though also minimalist.” They’re operative with internal pattern organisation Fultz and Singh Architects to pattern both spaces, that will underline purify lines, soothing white tones, healthy light and “nothing that doesn’t need to be there.”
Robertson says they’re still finalizing a food, though we can design a elementary menu with things like locally-made pastries and prepared equipment from Stella’s. A handful of drink and wines might also be available.
“Everything’s going to be super simple, and a lot of it will be featuring internal partnerships,” says Robertson.
In a meantime, a roastery will continue to work as usual, with products accessible online and during a Westwood Avenue lab and open cuppings (like a booze tasting, though for coffee) each Friday during 10:30 a.m.
