The Handsome Coffee Roasters co-founder has been gripping a reduce public-facing form given jumping in with Blacktop Coffee in a Arts District in 2014, though is now set to lead his possess space again with Nice Coffee Bar on City National Plaza.
The tiny emporium sits on Flower Street right in a plaza, and is a initial wholly solo devise for Wells. He’s had other projects underneath a larger Nice Coffee ensign like his selling and consulting arm, though this is a initial branded coffee stop regulating a Nice name. Of march a pretension itself is a none-too-subtle poke to a aged Handsome days, when Wells and association got some early bad press for their infrequently stodgy appearance and refusal to let business flow sugarine in their drinks.
So now Wells will play Nice with a new self-described “jewel box” right in a plaza, surrounded by a outside seating already found there. Gensler designed a space, that offers high windows that open adult to turn awnings and a wraparound poured bar for customers. There’s a fritter box for doughnuts too of course, and a whole thing collapses down into a compress brick during a finish of a night.
Nice Coffee Bar will strictly open for business on Friday, Apr 14, gripping daily hours from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. And yes, a devise is for everybody who works there to be unusually nice.
