    Fantastic news - congratulations! I can't be there for the opening, but as soon as I'm back in town, I will be all too happy to patronize this establishment. Thanks for all you do for our neighborhood, and good luck!

    It's gonna have 6 roofdecks and a green-energy wind turbine on top of it to power the microbrewery that's opening up behind it.

    Good for you Ori!

    I hope Tiffany Lamp has some nitro glycerin tablets with her when she walks by....to prevent a heart attack! I want that b#tch to live long enough to be tourtured by you and all the other good people who actually get stuff done. Keep it up dude! The city is changing for the good.

    I heard there was going to be a roof top karoke bar with stripper poles and free tatoos and nipple piercings! I could be wrong though.

    Huzzah! Best of luck. You deserve it after all of the bull**** you've been through. I don't even drink coffee but I will patronize the place!
    Philly people, learn your history.

    Just heard that someone came by the OCF Coffee Shop and said some not so nice things to the new business owner.

    This same person might have also threatened to bulldoze the 2 to 3 lots that the new business owner just paid to clean up/re-landscape (on his own dime).

    If you live in the area, then you know what the 2 to 3 lots behind the coffee shop looked like recently. Concrete barriers, tons of trash everywhere, etc.

    In the past week, those lots have seen a transformation of sorts.

    Below are some pics I took after the main clean up. You can see the concrete barriers and some of the leftover trash in the back still.

    A crew just got there with a bunch of plants as I was leaving. Should be looking even better later today.

    I guess just keep an eye out for bulldozers that may show up to "clean up" the clean up.

    And if the new business owner feels like jumping in with additional details, then we are all ears.

    Please come drink lots of coffee people! The coffee shop and garden are quite lonely without all of you.

    stopped by this morning...the goat cheese croissant was delicious. The shop and garden look great! Whoever your design team is, I may be in love with them.

    What's on for late-lunch/early-dinner-ish time? Thinking I might just take a stroll over later this afternoon...
