COFFEE AND FRIENDSHIP IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

After 12 years, our beloved Fuel coffee shop recently closed. Neighbor Katherine McComic, above at the stand, has collaborated with Coffee Pedaler to fill the gap with a pop-up cafe on De Palma Court, (between Chapel and Wooster Streets, where the Farmers' Market is held each Saturday). 

The cafe, called Downtown Table, is open weekdays 7-10am & 2-5pm: Sundays 12-6pm through August 18. 

Menu includes drip coffee and cold brew from the Coffee Pedaler as well as iced tea and cookies. There is patio seating and ambient music, too. Credit cards accepted. Stop by!  (posted 7/1/17)
