Bowery Coffee Opening Monday at 87 East Houston
Here comes Bowery Coffee, down the final stretch, barely a furlong from the finish. The forthcoming java joint at 87 East Houston unveiled a new addition to its gated archway last week – iron lettering. We stopped by the premises and chatted with owner Gadi Gilan, who remains the proprietor of the longtime lighting shop next door, B4 It Was Cool.

Interior decor complements the adjoining store, utilizing its light fixtures and banking on a bit of rustic Americana. It’s what Gilan refers to as “turn of the century espresso.” But as previously mentioned, Bowery Coffee is essentially a grab-and-go espresso establishment, without much seating. Just a few tables.

We are told that Bowery Coffee will turn on the equipment and begin serving Monday morning. However, it’s more a soft trial opening. The shop will run a pared-down weekday schedule to start – 7 am to 3 pm – with weekend hours arriving in the near future.
How do you feel about an espresso bar here at the corner of Bowery and East Houston?
