MilkBoy (11th and Chestnut), the first city-limits foray for Tommy Joyner and Jamie Lokoff of the Main Line-based MilkBoy Studios and coffee shops, will soft-open this Monday, August 15, at 6 a.m.

The concept's spread out across two floors — ground level's got coffee, a bar and lunch/dinner seating for 56, while the upstairs, which'll debut in mid-September, will host shows, open mics and karaoke. (There's also a bar up here.) The first MilkBoy outpost to hold a liquor license, the space will start out by offering Counter Culture coffee during the day (La Forza will be their house espresso) and booze from happy hour time till 11ish — six crafts on tap, 20 in cans (no bottles; there'll be mounted can crushers so drinkers can smoosh their own empties), pony buckets and 15 or so signature cocktails. 

The following Monday is the tentative launch date for lunch and dinner, the menus for which are still being finalized. Expect a lot of the vegan- and veggie-friendly fare available at MilkBoy's Ardmore and Bryn Mawr locations, plus simple pleasures like fries and grilled burgers (neither café has a fryer or a grill). And here's a coup for those who love a good swag get — soon, everyone who comes through will get a free branded MilkBoy beer koozy, the classiest of all frosty beverage receptacles.

MilkBoy's struggles with union protesters have been well-documented by local media, but how's this for a bit of forward-looking kismet? See the last photo above: During construction, the owners uncovered a long-lost vintage dairy bottle in perfect condition.
