Rebecca Michaels' Flying Monkey Deuce (1112 Locust St.), a Wash West extension of her Flying Monkey Patisserie in Reading Terminal Market, opens to the public today at 8 a.m.

Michaels is keeping it simple for her new venture, in a space that's housed a number of coffee shops in the past � she'll do a selection of sweets and baked goods straight from her RTM hub, plus La Colombe coffee/espresso and Remedy tea. (The display cases are empty in the pics above because we came through this past Friday, shortly before a welcome reception.) Michaels wants to do sandwiches and soups, too, but that won't happen right away.

On the west side of the property sits a spacious sheltered patio/courtyard area, with some seating, adjacent to a garden on Locust Street. Though it probably won't get much use in the winter months, Michaels says her landlord has long-term plans to actually extend the building out over this outdoor space, a renovation that would more than double the square footage of the cute but narrow interior.

Hours: Mon.-Sat., 8 a.m.-6 p.m.; Sun., 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
