BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: Opening day Wednesday for Alki Coffee Co. and Ben & Jerry’s
If you’re going to the beach tomorrow – another sunny day is forecast – you’ll find two new businesses open. After a reader question, we just reconfirmed with the owners of Alki Coffee Co. and Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream that tomorrow is indeed Day 1 for their co-housed businesses at 2742 Alki Avenue SW (ex-Starbucks). Hours will be 7 am-9 pm for the coffee shop, noon-9 pm for the ice-cream shop. The official grand-opening celebration will then be on Saturday (April 26), “Same hours, with the ribbon cutting with the Chamber at noon, Dub II the Husky mascot there for pics 2-3 pm, a balloon artist for the kids 2:30-4:30 pm, and a diaper drive all day in partnership with Westside Baby.” For more on the new shops, see our close-up story from last month.
See you tomorrow!!!
Much better than a Starbucks!
Can’t wait to go to both new businesses, Affogato anyone?!!
I hope so!
I didn’t see it listed. I think you could make your own in two separate transactions though. Probably less than $15.
Just visited- looks great! Tons of staff working behind the counter and the place was busy. Stoked to have it here.
We went at 9am and the line was practically out the door. The coffee was good as are the baked goods. They serve crepes, waffles, breakfast sandwiches and paninis. Welcome to the neighborhood!
