Cafe/Bagels Franklin and Crown St.

A new cafe and bagel shop is opening in the front of the Associated market on Franklin.   Looks like it's almost ready to go.   

I assume it is in the space behind the metal grates?

Yes.   Not clear if its part of the store or not.  I think it's Kola cafe or Koala...  I think they'll be open in less than a month.

I sort of hope it is operated by the store;   I like to see existing businesses adapt.

I hope it's "Mountain" lite

This place is open now... and the name is indeed Koala.   Looks nice.   

If they can make a go of it for at least 3 years they should do really well when 109 Montgomery, Seacrest on Franklin and Seacrest on Crown come on line.   That's gotta be at least 500 units of housing???

Now maintaining regular hours and seem to have hit their stride.

Is there seating? I heard it's by the same owners of Zaytoon's.

I can can confirm that there are stools, but not the ownership.
