Second Ultimo Coffee in the works

Aaron Ultimo, who two years back opened his first eponymous Counter Culture-brewing cafe in Newbold (1900 S. 15th St.), tells Meal Ticket he's in the early stages of opening a second location at 22nd and Catharine. No official signature on the lease yet, but Ultimo's plans are part of a development project that calls for the complete demolition of an existing structure on the Graduate Hospital corner (2149 Catharine). Though the uberbarista's goal is to be in the space by September 2011, he feels spring 2012 is probably a more accurate time assessment. "If all goes according to plan," Ultimo says, "our second location will be everything you love about Ultimo Coffee currently, with a few more exciting aspects, including different brewing devices, sexy machinery and great design."
