Holiday weekend ICYMI: Nobletree Coffee opened on Saturday on the northwest corner of Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place.
Per their Facebook About: "Nobletree is an innovative coffee brand of Farmers, Roasters, and Baristas based in Brooklyn with proprietary coffee farms in Brazil."
As previously noted, the corner space was vacant these past three years after DF Mavens closed. Before DF Mavens served vegan ice cream here, the space was the cafe Eastside Bakery (.net?) and Roastown Coffee.
And as a few previous posts have pointed out, the Gap was here from 1988 to 2001...
... oh wait...

I miss that Gap. The bathroom was terrific!
ReplyDeleteMore coffee, really?
ReplyDeleteI worked at that gap. Every morning one of my coworkers would open a big black binder and ask, "What are you wearing today that's Gap?". Uhh.. I was piss poor and took the job to feed myself. So yeah, no gap wear yet. I didn't last there long.
ReplyDeletethey will never sell enough coffee to pay the rent for that space.
ReplyDeleteSeeing something like Kim's Video sends me into a reverie. Not just for Kim's per se, but the whole way of life that ended once the internet came around. Not saying the before or after is better or worse. I just miss the old way. It was cool.
ReplyDeleteKim's is iconic EV.
ReplyDeleteWas there when they smashed the window at the gap, heard it was announced beforehand, good ole days...
