A news and coffeeshop for 790 Washington

whynot_31

Before Gino's pizza upgraded and moved down Washington, it was located in the storefront behind the UPS truck, 790 Washington Avenue.

This storefront now has a Coffee and News awning.

It has been added to the long running Coffeeshop Happening thread: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/37621/the-coffee-shop-happenings-thread/p1

Is that the correct address? I think the postal store is 790

It seems they share 790 as a result of both being in the same building.

Gino's was 790, and they are now in the Gino's storefront.

I looked in this place last night and they are moving along quickly with construction.

They likely have much of the needed plumbing and electrical close at hand as a result of its previous use as a pizza place.

The awning doesn't scream hipster coffee spot to me.

It may be targeting people who work at nearby businesses and/or the various car services along Washington Ave.

Washington Ave now has almost every storefront rented.

This place opened a few weeks ago, and is basically a small bodega.

...with coffee, batteries, newspapers, etc.

One can't sit and drink the coffee.
