1 Shot Coffee opened in its brand-new location at American and George this past Friday, so we paid a quick visit this a.m. to grab some pics of this quite-impressive bilevel space for y'all. Philly-based hospitality designer Chris Sheffield, who also happens to be a 1 Shot regular, put together the plans for owner Melissa Baruno's new café, a serious upgrade from 1 Shot's more modest original home on Liberties Walk. The ground floor has a traditional coffeehouse feel, but there are innumerable thoughtful touches, like distressed ceiling panels, a plush banquette, globule lighting fixtures, a stool-seating coffee bar and custom shelving to house 1 Shot's supply of Stumptown beans. Head up a flight of stairs and you'll find 1 Shot's communal-style second floor, complete with bookshelves, comfy-couch reading area and all styles of seating; also check out the drink rail framing a (currently inoperable) '79 Honda motorcycle, which the 1 Shot crew wheeled up the staircase themselves. Chef Michael Thomas, late of Kraftwork, is offering a brunch-style menu lots of veggie/vegan options every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Check it out in full after the jump.
