The Coffee Bar to open 8/1

coffeebar.jpg
The coffeeshop in the Radisson-Warwick at 17th and Locust, which was Capriccio for 14 years until April, will reopen Friday 8/1 as The Coffee Bar.

It's owned by the hotel and overseen by Tavern 17, the restaurant on the hotel's 17th Street side. Decor will be contemporary with seating from Ligne Roset, and there will be outdoor cafe tables.

Breakfast items include muffins and pastries, smoothies, fruit and made-to order breakfast sandwiches. Lunch and dinner items include salads, soups and panini. It'll double as a dessert cafe, and the 15-seat oak bar will serve specialty cocktails, charged smoothies (so much for wheatgrass) and coffees, wines and champagne by the glass, after dinner drinks and craft beers. Hours will be 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

As for that Capriccio location, it'll turn up in September at 16th and the Parkway as Capriccio Café & Espresso Bar at Café Cret.

ND:

Tavern 17 can barely manage itself..How is it going to handle additional responsibility?
