Signage alert: Justin's Salt Bread on 2nd Avenue

The owners of Okiboru House of Udon at 124 Second Ave., between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place, have a new concept in the works a few blocks to the south. 

Signage is up for Justin's Salt Bread at 58 Second Ave. between Third Street and Fourth Street. According to a job-opening ad: "We are a minimalist salt-bread cafĂ© serving high-quality coffee, matcha, and our signature salt bread. Our space is simple, calm, and welcoming — centered around one specialty item and a small curated drink menu." 

The cafe-bakery will specialize in Japanese-style salt bread (shio pan), known for its crisp golden crust and soft buttery interior, per the internet. No word on an opening date. 

No. 58 has been a few restaurants in recent years, including Dia, N'eat and Cellar 58.
