The Shops at The Bravern has just announced that they will be opening a new coffee shop in mid-June, just in time for summer. VoVito Caffè & Gelato, as it will be named, is a local concept created by Eastside entrepreneurs Ariff and Shairose Gulamani. The coffee and gelato shop will be located right off the 110th arrival court, adjacent to the outdoor fireplace.
A coffee shop has been the #1 request by those who have visited The Bravern. The new shop will allow for a much-needed casual meeting place.
VoVito Caffè concept is to offer “coffee for connoisseurs,” says Ariff in the release. The 2,444 square-foot shop will not just offer coffee and custom-made gelato, but will offer tea, smoothies, milkshakes, ice cream, sorbetto, salads, baked goods, sweet bites, cold plates (cheese and fruit), and assorted finger foods. The café will open early at 6:30am to provide breakfast for early risers.
VoVito will not only be good for shoppers at The Bravern, but employees of the stores at The Bravern as well. Employees and customers alike have been extremely limited to their quick and easy eating options and typically run across the street to Starbucks or Subway. This is a much needed and great addition for The Shops at The Bravern.
I hope it’s not $5 for a cup of Joe just because it’s in The Bravern.
i think it’s great for bravern visitors/employees/residents! curious as to know the vibe of the new coffee shop!
I agree Rachel…it’s much needed. They better have free Wi-Fi!
You know how we are about our coffee in the NW! Great addition.
There will be free WiFi Michael. 🙂 The cafe will be very vibrant and fun. We’ll have some initial colors we can share soon. The owners are VERY excited to open. We’ll get more information out soon.
I hope they got a hell of a deal on their lease, because if they’re paying market-rate rents (~$40/sq ft) for 2,500 sq ft and hoping to operate profitably with a completely-unproven/untried cafe concept, they’re mistaken.
>Cameron: Agreed. I suspect that’s why the menu offering is so diverse.
