Blue Bottle Coffee will open a liege waffle and avocado toast-filled doors within a successive few months, scarcely half a year after than a eatery had primarily planned.
Jamie Mesenburg, a orator for Blue Bottle, pronounced that they devise to open a coffee shop, located during 40 Bow St., someday “this winter.”
The coffee emporium will fill a storefront plcae during a Hurst Gallery building, that has sat dull for over 4 years.
The skill was purchased by Hong Kong billionaire and prominent Harvard donor Gerald L. Chan in Jan. 2013, and successive replacement work on a building has focused on repair a building’s exterior.
In Feb. 2017, a Cambridge Zoning Board authorized a operation of a grill on a bottom building of a 40 Bow St. property, though a routine of opening has suffered mixed delays.
Blue Bottle initial directed for an opening in late summer 2017, according to their website. But over a summer, Blue Bottle told Denise A. Jillson, executive executive of a Harvard Square Business Association, that they instead designed to open in December.
Now, a store skeleton to open during some indicate this winter. Mesenburg declined to yield a specific opening date, though a interior of a store—visible from a street—already contains tables, chairs, and a bar.
Construction work on a site is now ongoing. Along with a Blue Bottle plan manager, a construction workman surveyed a plcae Tuesday.
Blue Bottle coffee specializes in “single-origin” coffee, coffee beans grown during a singular location. The association was founded in 2002 in Oakland, Calif., and now has stores in cities national and in Tokyo.
The Cambridge cafeteria will offer a revolution of single-origin coffees and will offer pastries and food equipment like anniversary salads and chia pudding, bringing “another bougie further to Harvard Square,” as one tyro pronounced in 2016.
Blue Bottle Coffee is not a usually restoration in a works during one of Chan’s multiple Harvard Square properties. Last year, Chan’s investment company, Morningside Group, announced a full renovation of a aged Harvard Square Theater on Church Street.
However, like Blue Bottle, a Theater sat dull for years, sparking threats of seizure by a Cambridge City Council in 2017. Chan debuted his restoration skeleton shortly afterwards.
