The owner mentioned using a local roaster for the coffee beans (not sure who), is planning on offering organic salads and lots of vegetarian items. Sounds like a great addition to the neighorhood. They are trying to open this coming week.Megannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-74612643918262598382012-04-18T08:57:56.333-04:002012-04-18T08:57:56.333-04:00Lets just hope it offers quality coffee.

Lenox Coffee offers amazing coffee you can find downtown plus they have great baristas! <br /><br />For another coffeeshop to open a block down is a bit ridiculous for growth and demand in Harlem.Harlemitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-80218490015472939672012-04-17T13:37:32.278-04:002012-04-17T13:37:32.278-04:00Well if Lenox coffee is always crowded that's ...Well if Lenox coffee is always crowded that's one of those good problems..lol. hopefully astor row cafe can stay open a little later than lenox coffee.anytime i remember to stop by it's after 6pm.CityDwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474081046017310286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-74129216098552408642012-04-17T11:18:11.393-04:002012-04-17T11:18:11.393-04:00Lenox Coffee is even crowed on lunchtime weekdays....Lenox Coffee is even crowed on lunchtime weekdays.<br /><br />I think the two place can overlap nicely.Vic Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223286245820221712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-17840331162756120412012-04-17T10:40:46.939-04:002012-04-17T10:40:46.939-04:00They had the doors open Sunday morning when I jogg...They had the doors open Sunday morning when I jogged past and it looks really cool inside. Not knowing what will be on the menu, I can't imagine that it will hurt Lenox Coffee's business. On the weekends, LC is so crowded it's hard to get a table. Upper Lenox is so starved of good cafes and restaurants and there are more than enough potential customers in the neighborhood.<br /><br />I'm glad someone else brought up Lenox Wines. What is going on with them? I keep trying to get some information but can't find anything out. I really hope they reopen soon. I don't want to trek over to FDB or to the UWS just for a decent bottle of wine.CMBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-57866410885248684862012-04-16T15:41:27.018-04:002012-04-16T15:41:27.018-04:00how wonderful...looking forward to it, and support...how wonderful...looking forward to it, and supporting!harlemhommenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-54990033725016081752012-04-16T15:29:19.693-04:002012-04-16T15:29:19.693-04:00Great news for upper Lenox, this has a corner loca...Great news for upper Lenox, this has a corner location that is good for visibility.
