A reader writes in:"Signs appeared last week in the window of the commercial space at 838 W. Montrose foretelling the arrival of Kahawa House, a coffee shop. It ends the protracted vacancy created when the storefront’s former tenant, the Urban Tea Lounge, was shuttered about one year ago. The signs also indicate that the coffee house will offer Wi-Fi and a mail drop service. There’s no word yet about when Kahawa House will open."
What is a maildrop service? Is it as simple as them having a box to drop letters in that they take to the post office or have picked up by a mailman?
ReplyDeleteRegardless, I could easily see myself stopping by to get a coffee before I go to the Jewel across the street. Hopefully it will get some more positive foot traffic along that stretch and help that part of Montrose with the blight!
I think a mail drop service is for people to pick up their mail. Make of that what you will.
ReplyDeleteKahawa coffee.
ReplyDeleteI wondered where the name came from.
Glad to see something moving in. It's been vacant since I moved here.
ReplyDeleteI hope it turns out to be a nice place to spend some time, because it's right across the street from my place, so it would definitely be a convenient hangout...
Glad to see a new tenant going in there. I miss the Urban Tea Lounge and their great sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteThanks Irishpirate! Cool article. Hope this place works out.
ReplyDeletealways on the hunt for a tasty cup of coffee!
ReplyDeletecurious, how does everyone rank other places serving coffee around here?
If you can get up to The Fix on Irving Park, I think it's worth the trip...nice place, good service, great coffee.
ReplyDeletedollop on Clarendon is my fave
ReplyDeleteWe're insane for Metropolis in Roger's Park but Dollop serves their coffee so that is what we prefer when we are in the 'hood.
