NEW: Dave’s Coffee to Open Craft Coffee Bar in Providence
“In a way, coffee has always thrived at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, where the heritage of roasting meets the latest brewing methods,” said Dave Lanning Junior, Co-founder and Director of Retail. "This theme runs throughout our bar from the handmade steel countertops to the custom built Slayer Espresso machine - the first in Rhode Island. Working with 3SixØ Architecture has allowed us to integrate community and craftsmanship into a design that is distinct, expressive and practical.”
Growth and expansion
This will be the second retail location and marks the company’s first stand-alone brick-and-mortar expansion. Dave’s Coffee Providence will feature a pour-over coffee bar, cold brew coffee on tap, and an extensive espresso drink menu. In addition, an interior retail section crafted of barn-board wood will display whole bean coffee and home brewing equipment.
