This is bitter sweet. Layered had the best croissants I’ve ever had.
But Paul & Jacks is an excellent bakery.
Wish we could have had both in downtown.

Yes I am both sad and incredibly happy. Paul and Jack’s is amazing! Everyone should check out their IG.

Huh, I guess that explains why I just got an email from Paul & Jack, was wondering what that was.
…whenever the HELL they were open. I practice in a space right down the street and there have been WAYYYY too many times I’ve wanted to grab a coffee before practice only to remember that they closed at like 1PM or some asinine hour. They certainly were busy during open hours, and who knows… maybe they could’ve STAYED busy if they stayed open a little longer??? Here’s hoping the new business will still serve iced lattes and maybe stay open, you know, normal people hours!

I mean… they were a breakfast spot that was open during breakfast hours. I loved their pastries. Sounds like they did fine until the new owner tanked it.

I think what you’re looking for is a café or coffee shop. This, sir, was a croissanterie!

I like how the one empty square where a piece of advertising material once was perfectly captured that truck. Like, “Parking Cars is the Future.”

Pretty sure Cuya already existed on the second floor, so are they expanding?

Cuya Cocina - It’s a revamp of the restaurant (kitchen) concept - new chef, Kevin Ruiz, who’s been around the scene a while - mix of Caribbean flavor / influence. Going through design flip and hear there’s a more permanent shade structure in the works for that streetside patio…Will still have the bar concept upstairs (Cuya).

Thankfully it’s not just another bar-only concept that would largely sit quiet on weekdays.

Based on permits, seems like Kelly Odom Flowers is moving to a renovated building at 1505 Gavin St in Five Points. Guess this opens up 102 Glenwood - part of the old “The Row at Glenwood” redevelopment.

Just walked by there yesterday and noticed a sign announcing they were moving.

Ale House in GloSo closing, will convert to Smash - a ‘premier pingpong bar and club - further adding to the unparalleled nightlife experience’

Yep, and Canes watch parties are moving to… the cary location. Closing just before the nhl playoffs is an interesting choice

Finally someone decided they wanted to make money!!! There is no ping pong bar here, at best a table in the corner or RBG outdoors. Massive miss for our market, so good for them capitalizing because this will do so well so quickly. Very few actual voids here (in terms of bar/restaurant/nightlife options…we do have good variety) but this is one of them. I’m pumped and it will probably be mere months after this opens before a competitor emerges.
I will miss CAH on Glenwood but happy the space won’t be empty long.

Let’s hope that they have things like league play during the week and that this too doesn’t just become yet another Friday and Saturday night focused business.
