It looks like a coffee shop in Somerville will soon be joined by a new location in the heart of downtown Boston.
According to a licensing board hearing page within the City of Boston website, Nine Bar Espresso is planning to open in Downtown Crossing, with the address indicating that it will be moving into the Boston Brewin Coffee space on Bromfield Street. The hearing notice lists the manager as Erick Vlassidis, who has been involved with Nine Bar Espresso in Davis Square, so there is definitely a connection between the two places--and as reported here earlier, Nine Bar is also connected to Simon's Coffee Shop in Cambridge.
The address for this new coffee shop in Downtown Crossing is: Nine Bar Espresso, 45 Bromfield Street, Boston, MA, 02108. The website for the original location in Somerville is https://www.ninebarespresso.net/
