Such a nice restoration job and then a restaurant opens up there that uses Papyrus as its signage font

Ehhh, at least it's not Countdown.

Let's petition them to change it to Comic Sans

I would actually welcome Countdown if it were appropriate to the restaurant's concept. Papyrus just makes me think I'm looking at a menu that offers tofu wraps or something.

Yes. In 1993.

Haha, I was about to say, Papyrus along with Comic Sans are possibly the worst fonts in existence and need to be eliminated immediately.

I guess some people just don't understand "classy." The only improvements I can see being made are the addition of neon lights, and maybe a huge arrow pointing to the door with "enter here!"

Great looking place.

Great shots thanks.

I hope they do something about that efflorescence on the brick just below the cornice. (And I hope they don't have a leak!)

Very, very nice. A sophisticated look finally. Instead of Timmy's everywhere.

(And I hope they don't have a leak!)

Likely not a leak but an issue with the way the brick was laid in the first place.

The coffee shop looks great, the interior included. The flooring is beautiful and they've done a good job of creating a site-specific feel to the interior.

Great coffee. Great patio. Beautiful restoration. A++





p.s. can't wait to check out the restaurants this summer

Looks like it was Taken out of a European street. Very Classy. Lets hope others can see it and try to emulate it.

Restorations often reveal the original colour of the facade materials, which were often an important consideration for the original architects and builders. The warm yellow brick looks great now. Before the restoration, it looked rather unremarkable in its blackened state.
