In addition, some commented that it would also be a coffee shop, and others mentioned a cafe, including Andrew Sweet, who confirmed this, given that he and his wife own the business next door. Another commenter said they would be putting a courtyard with tables and lovely trees in the back, too. Here's hoping that's true.
