B Cup Café debuts today in new Avenue B home

Starting today, B Cup Café is soft-opening in its new location at 204 Avenue B, between 12th Street and 13th Street. 

B Cup is the first tenant in the renovated retail space, which was rebuilt after a June 2023 fire at B-Side, the former bar on the ground floor.
The new B Cup includes an expanded menu and later hours with the addition of a beer-wine license. (There are four wines offered by the bottle or glass as well as five beer choices.) 

The café spent 18 years on the SW corner of 13th Street and Avenue B, recently closing in this spot after the landlord did not offer the business a new lease.
If you're on Instagram, you can follow the B Cup account for updates.

    On the one hand, it's nice to see long-time tenants occupy space that used to belong to other long-time tenants. On the other, it's really hard not seeing B-Side in that space and worrying to think what will be able to afford the corner spot that still has any Ave B character to it.

      I ran into Wally before the holidays and believe B-Side is looking to come back in Avenue C (fingers crossed).

      It's not the real b side anyway ever since ownership changed and Andrew is not behind the bar.
