Fairmount Avenue's Mugshots grows
![]() |
Jill Fink, co-owner of Mugshots, tells us she's putting the finishing touches on a major expansion project to her coffee shop near Eastern State Penitentary. (Mugshots' second location is in Manayunk.) They've expanded the coffee shop into an adjacent apartment just west of their corner stake at 21st and Fairmount Avenue, creating an additional 35 seats. In addition to expanding the kitchen to allow for more in-house baking, they've added a dessert selection that features products from Bethlehem-based Vegan Treats as well as a rotating selection of six Capogiro gelatos. Sustainable building materials such as low-VOC paint and reclaimed wood were used for the project. And if you're a Lower Merionite, you might recognize the tables and chairs in the new space: They were originally used at the The Point, the Bryn Mawr coffee shop/music venue that closed in 2005.
New hours of operation, which will go into effect in 2009: Monday to Friday, 6:30 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday, 7:30 a.m.-10 p.m.; and Sunday 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m.
