Second Spruce Street Espresso on the way

| Spruce Street Espresso on Facebook |
Faith Ortiz of teeny-tiny Counter Culture dispensary Spruce Street Espresso (1101 Spruce St.) tells Meal Ticket she's in the early stages of opening a second locatio — and it'll be just one block away from SSE's current digs. They've got their sights on the commercial space in the Oddfellows Building at 1201 Spruce, a historic property that's currently undergoing an elaborate rehabilitation. While SSE has only 10 seats, the new space — also called Spruce Street Espresso, but with "Café" tacked on — will feature room for close to 40, allowing for a light food menu in addition to goods from Betty's Speakeasy and Artisan Boulanger Patisserie. They'll still brew Counter Culture, but will also have the capacity to feature "guest" beans from roasters like Stumptown, PT's and Intelligentsia. Stanev Potts Architects — also based right in the 'hood, at 11th and Spruce — will be handling the buildout in support of a July opening. "We really just wanted to have a bigger space, and we felt like we could still stay in the same neighborhood," says Ortiz of SSE's decision to expand just one city block away. "If there's no room at the original, we want to be able to say, 'If you go just one block down, our other location will have a seat for you.'" (h/t @stabert)
