A new coffee shop frothing with history, a local mom's Hollywood connection, and a feel-good group that knows how to spin a good yarn. All this and more, inside!
Absolutley love the Houdini connection here, turning his old film lab into a coffee spot feels like the kind of serendipity that makes local spots memorable. The historical continuty is wild when you see those then-and-now photos, barely changed. I've found that cafes with an actual backstory like this tend to become real community anchors instead of jsut another espresso machine. The weekend-only hours might be limiting for now but if they expand to movie nights like they mentioned that could be huge for the area.
Ya! Also fun: I noticed today that they started their Instagram on Oct 31 — Houdini’s death day! Total coincidence I’m sure but fun, right? Totally want to do a seance there for his 100th deathversary. Or maybe just a comedy and magic show.
