Awnings arrived for the respected coffee roaster on the SE corner late last week.
They had a sneak preview of the space on Saturday... with a livestream of the International Chocolate Awards World Finals (Dark Matter was nominated for its Sleep Walk chocolate — and they won a Gold, Silver, and two Bronze.)
Dark Matter started on Chicago's west side in 2007, and there are now multiple locations (not to mention an online shop).
Once open, this outpost will serve Dark Matter coffee and other cafe fare and include a Sleep Walk Chocolateria.
Dark Matter, founded by Jessie Diaz, is known for its music-inflected, irreverent branding and transparent sourcing practices built on direct relationships with Latin American farmers.
We haven't seen anything official about this... but given its location a block south of the former CBGB, ¡Adios Amigos! is likely taking its name from the 14th and final studio record by the Ramones.
No word on an opening date. You can follow them on Instagram for updates.
