1 Shot Coffee's big plans

POSTED: Friday, May 28, 2010, 5:22 PM

Filed Under: Coffee | Openings

We first alluded to 1 Shot Coffee's expansion plans back in February, but now the project is coming into focus a bit more. Owner Melissa Baruno tells Meal Ticket she's aiming at Sept. 1 to move her five-year-old cafÃ© from Liberties Walk to a multi-level space on American Street (formerly American Street CafÃ©). On the ground floor, she'll have a custom-built espresso bar (literally a bar, with 12 seats) armed with a pourover setup and iced coffee on tap; she wants to hold cuppings, or coffee tastings, once a week. A full kitchen will allow Baruno to offer a vegetarian-friendly, full-on seasonal salad menu put together with locally grown organic ingredients. 1 Shot has served Stumptown coffee since January of this year, and will continue to brew their beans, including a proprietary blend the Portland, Oregon roaster developed specifically for Baruno's shop. On the second floor of the new cafÃ©, there'll be a glass-enclosed herb and lettuce garden, a user-friendly community table for meetings and study and a wall dedicated exclusively to work by Tyler School of Art students. Baruno says she plans on organizing movie nights, acoustic performances and local artsy-crafty mini-bazaar events for this space on a regular basis. UPDATE: Added a exterior rendering of the new 1 Shot after the jump.
