BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Grand opening set for Nos Nos

(November photo, courtesy Nos Nos)

Over the weekend, readers messaged us to say it looked like Nos Nos, the new coffee/etc. shop in Upton Flats at 35th/Graham, had opened. That was actually a “friends/family” open to get ready for the grand opening, which, proprietor Khalid Agour tells us, will be tomorrow – Tuesday (December 17th), 6 am-3 pm. Those are the hours for starters but they’re hoping to extend to 6 pm as soon as February.

    adorable interior! i won’t be able to check it out in person until the new year but excited to do so!

    Sad to see the gentrification in this area continuing but nice to have some more food options.  Really looking forward to the new teriyaki joint coming to the former Winchell’s location.

      Sad to see the gentrification?! Are you kidding me, I almost got shot while waiting at the traffic light at this corner last year because of gang violence. SUPER SAD to see all that go away

    • Sarah December 16, 2019 (3:31 pm)

      You’re joking right? There is nothing sad about this. 

    • Some Guy December 16, 2019 (4:43 pm)

      Why does it immediately go to gentrification? The owner is Moroccan and has opened other restaurants in Seattle. It’s possible to just have a nice thing come to your neighborhood and be thankful for the new option, but you go ahead and keep finding reasons to complain. Happy Holidays!

      This area needed to be gentrified, nothing sad about this at all. Thank you god

    Wow!  So excited to have this gorgeous place within walking distance of my home!  A few questions: 1. How to pronounce the name?  2. Is there a link to a menu? or even the type of food ie. snacks/pastries/sandwiches 3.  Seating to sit and chat?  4. Wifi if i bring my laptop?Can’t wait, see you soon!

    • Katie Boyd December 16, 2019 (2:43 pm)

      1. Nos Nos is pronounced just like saying the word ‘No’, but with an ‘s’ added on. 2. We will be offering sandwiches, salad and soup made fresh in house and to order. Pastries are provided fresh baked by Patrick’s in White Center, including a signature scone made just for Nos Nos! More details to come!3. Plenty of places to sit and chat. :)4: Workspaces available complete with outlets for laptops and wifi.See you soon!

      • Katie Boyd December 16, 2019 (2:51 pm)

        Also, the ‘os’ in Nos Nos is pronounced like the ‘os’ in the word ‘host’ :) 

        • WSB December 16, 2019 (3:27 pm)

          Thank you for all the info! Our updates on Nos Nos have been rather incremental and I don’t think we asked the basic “what type of coffee” (etc.) questions along the way. – TR

      • Graciano December 16, 2019 (5:49 pm)

        So is it pronounced  “nose, nose” or is it NOS, NOS without the t as in as you said host? OMG either way WELCOME!

        • Katie Boyd December 16, 2019 (7:53 pm)

          The s is soft (like host, close, most) and not like the z sound in nose. :)

          • graciano December 17, 2019 (5:34 pm)

            LOL!!! which ever way it’s pronounced and the way I (can’t)  I just looked at the menu WSB posted and it looks delicious!

  • Vtb December 16, 2019 (12:39 pm)

    So excited to have a coffee shop in High Point!!

  • Airwolf December 16, 2019 (2:03 pm)

    • Katie Boyd December 16, 2019 (2:30 pm)

      Our coffee beans are supplied by QED Coffee and teas are Flying Bird.

      • KM December 16, 2019 (7:10 pm)

        QED!! See you soon.

  • skeeter December 16, 2019 (4:55 pm)

    We really need a couple happy hour drink specials too!

  • Seriously? December 16, 2019 (4:58 pm)

    Very nice! I’m looking forward to coming in for coffee! Best of luck! 

  • jissy December 16, 2019 (8:05 pm)

    LOVE that you are doing a local partnership with Patrick’s!   I love that place!!!

  • Hungry December 16, 2019 (10:09 pm)

    Halal options? 

    • Katie Boyd December 17, 2019 (4:54 am)

      All of our soundwiches are halal, including chicken, beef, tuna and lamb.

  • Airwolf December 17, 2019 (8:09 am)

    Will there be restroom?

    • Katie Boyd December 17, 2019 (8:23 am)

      Yes, we have one all gender restroom with a changing table.

    • Garnet December 17, 2019 (12:08 pm)

      Is there a local restaurant or cafe that does not have a restroom?

  • EH December 17, 2019 (8:32 am)

    This sounds like a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Finally a spot within walking distance to grab coffee/tea, and food! I welcome you to high point and good luck!!!

    If only the rest of this apartment complex could have been used for neighborhood-activating retail/restraurant/bar establishments. Instead, the Seattle Housing Authority decided that the street-level retail space in the middle of one of the densest parts of West Seattle should be used for 9-5 back-office administrative space for themselves. Such a tragic, awful waste of prime space. It’s very disappointing.

    • JB December 17, 2019 (11:54 am)

      Just FYI, the “9-5 back-office administrative space” is used to serve the 600+ low-income households of the High Point neighborhood, including job seeking and financial literacy programs. We also have a community room available for use for the High Point community to gather in. So, we may not be retail space but we still contribute to fostering a community in the High Point neighborhood.

      • go_ws December 17, 2019 (12:55 pm)

        That is very nice to know. Thank you for sharing. The development was advertised with a huge area for retail/restaurants when it was first presented to the community. I am not saying the city intentionally hid its plan, but I wish they split the space more evenly so that it served both low income households and the rest. 

      • JW December 17, 2019 (2:17 pm)

        Thank you for the reply JB. The new offices are so much better suited to accommodate the large families at High point. They are also far more ADA compliant and friendly than the old office space. Thank you for all that you do for the residents of High Point and all of SHA’s employees for their contributions to the High Point/West Seattle community.

    • skeeter December 17, 2019 (1:31 pm)

      I gotta agree with Jort on this one.  Highpoint is an amazing neighborhood with a lot of dense housing and frequent transit.  But very few businesses within walking distance.  It’s a real shame that the only new retail area in the neighborhood is now administrative offices.  Huge missed opportunity to build the community with businesses and offer walkable destinations.  The library and neighborhood house are great but you can’t meet up with a neighbor and grab a beer there.   

      • WSB December 17, 2019 (2:20 pm)

        The site has a lot of backstory. Before what became Upton Flats was proposed five years ago, other proposals included a house/townhouse plan, an all-townhouse plan, and back in 2008, a mixed-use proposal that would have had 200 apartments and 16,000 square feet of retail. (That story from 2008 notes previous hopes for a grocery store had “evaporated.” We started doing this fulltime in fall 2007 so we don’t have earlier backstory.) – TR
