B&O Espresso Is Moving On, Staying Put

Back in February (brrr!), we reported on the venerable Capitol Hill institution, B&O Espresso, being forced out of its longtime location at the corner of Belmont & Olive because the property owners had plans for a multi-story apartment building there. This weekend we stopped in and saw the B&O's owner Majid behind the pastry case, and asked how things were going. Turns out that he's still planning on moving up to Broadway to take over the old Dilettante's spot (who in turn are relocating to the first floor of Brix, along with Vivace), but now the development of the original B&O location is on hold, and he's renting month-to-month. The opera posters are still hanging. The lemon chiffon cake is still flowing (so to speak). If the real estate downturn stays turned down, we may not lose a B&O, so much as gain one.

Just like the kingdom of heaven. Both now and not yet

 

Wait a minute, so Vivace is moving away from Cal Anderson Park to be over in Brix? Or is it another location that is moving?

 

Correct Eptin!

 

@Eptin: Vivace is in limbo, currently. They've closed up shop at the Cal Anderson location and are anxiously counting the days until they can move into Brix. Right now we're down to two Vivaces: the cart on Broadway and the one across the street from REI.
