As we've been reporting (here and here), the Chicago-based Dark Matter Coffee is opening its first NYC outpost on the SE corner of the Bowery at First Street.
And today (Friday!) is the debut of the space, which is going as ¡Adios Amigos! (the name from the 14th and final studio record by the Ramones).
This outpost will serve Dark Matter coffee and other cafe fare and include a Sleep Walk Chocolateria.
Here's more via an Instagram post by founder Jessie Diaz:
The amount of work put into this store was heavy, physically demanding, emotional, and fulfilling in ways that we haven’t felt as a team in years! My eternal gratitude for the whole crew of mighty Chicagoans who have put this work of art together!We will be showcasing them and their contributions throughout the next week and beyond!New York City, we are elated to be here, and humbled to make coffee for you on the Bowery! This shop will be also showcasing our sister brand @sleepwalkchocolateria making chocolate in our first open kitchen concept along with a gradual rollout of some savory and sweet food program!
Hours: Monday-Friday, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a 7 a.m. start on Saturdays and Sundays.
Former SW corner occupants Blue & Cream relocated its flagship outpost to 409 Bleecker St. in early 2023 after 15 years on the Bowery.
