this is the bellevue. it sits, appropriately, at the corner of bellevue and nassau streets in kensington market. apparently many other business have held reign at this location in the past, and apparently when these three guys leased it for their own purposes, it was little more than a flat white box.
now inside it's warm, cozy, made of wood; there are baked goods, there are hot sandwiches, breakfast; there is fresh warm pie with cream; there are french pressed batches of what they affectionately call 'cowboy coffee', for its dark, thick, strength and potency. there are also any number of foamy espresso drinks crafted meticulously by the tall drink of water counterman; sugary treats, a lite-brite, a typewriter, and cds for sale. there is just the right amount of hot steam in the place so that the windows get a bit fogged up but not too much.
soon, there will also be booze and music and nighttime fun.
for now, they are waiting for you from:
8-5 on wednesdays and thursdays and
8-6 on friday, saturday and sunday.
if you're anywhere nearby anytime soon, you should really go.
