T&N opened its two-story flagship store in the Design District within SoMa in San Francisco. The new store offers "two floor-to-ceiling circular partitions made of rope that form semi-private bedrooms while maintaining the soft natural light during the day and accentuating the 20-foot height of the space," and the Tuft & Needle Cafe, with coffee from San-Francisco-based Ritual Coffee.
A relaunched Alexander’s Steakhouse and Steins Beer Garden announced plans separately earlier this month to the Cupertino Planning Commission. “I think everybody’s in agreement and is excited about this project, and obviously a lot of care in the architecture and the layout has been taken, so I think it definitely is a great addition,” said commissioner Alan Takahashi.
The 2,800-square-feet space will have a coffee and espresso bar, as well as a full menu with beer and wine next door in a smaller space called Cafe Réveille. This spot will also serve as Réveille’s roasting headquarters and employee training lab.
The refined plans for a modern 9-story building to rise behind the one-story façade of the G&R Paint Company store at 1238 Sutter are slated to be approved by San Francisco’s Planning Commission. As designed by D-Scheme Studio for Celtic Development, the proposed Polk Gulch building includes 37 condos units over two retail spaces, with a two-story retail space fronting Sutter Street and a smaller café space fronting Fern.
The Castro's coffee corridor is officially booming, with today's opening of Reveille Coffee's second permanent location bringing a high-profile new player to the mix. Chris Newbury says that he hopes to make Reveille a community gathering space that's not just about grabbing a quick cup of joe to go, but is also good for spending a leisurely lunch hour or setting up the laptop to get some work done.
The new cafe shares a similar design aesthetic with the North Beach one, as you can see in the photos above: clean lines, light woods (like ash and cedar) and Reveille’s usual coffee offerings.
