Mood Cafe in the works on Baltimore Avenue
Hasan Bukhari, who owns the Desi Village Indian restaurants (King of Prussia, West Philly) as well as Desi Chaat House locations in West Philly and in the Bellevue, is breaking into the coffeehouse fray with Mood Café, a corner space at 46th and Baltimore (formerly a Laundromat) that's slated to open in the second week of May. Bukhari says he'll carry an international selection of coffee and espresso, plus shakes, smoothies, ice cream and shaved ice/fruit purée drinks. The café, which has applied for an outdoor seating permit, will keep long hours (7 a.m.-10 p.m. daily).
When was that location a laundromat? I've lived around the corner for almost 10 years and it's been a dry cleaners, clothing shop and a campaign office for Sestak but it hasn't been a laundromat in the last decade.
I didn't realize it was the same owners - now the really bright orange paint job makes more sense.— kwbridge- That definitely explains the paint job. I'm a huge fan of Chaat House, so this is pretty fun news.— JulieC
- kwbridge: Owner must have misspoke and meant dry cleaners', and not Laundromat.— Drew Lazor
- I lived at 47th and Baltimore in 2008-09. There is (was?) a laundromat at Baltimore and Farragut, which is between 46th and 47th.— hautgirl
