Coffee by day, cocktails by night, Char & Stave opens a second location in Chestnut Hill with free coffee for the grand opening.
Chestnut Hill welcomes an exciting new resident, Char & Stave, the brainchild of the eminent Jared Adkins of Bluebird Distilling, which is the perfect blend of café vibes by day and a sultry cocktail bar by night. Starting on the high note of National Coffee Day, September 29th, the official grand opening of Char & Stave Chestnut Hill beckons with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting at 8 a.m. And what better way to honor the day than with complimentary coffee all day?
Steeped in Char & Stave’s Everyday roast, sourced from the finest beans in Peru and Costa Rica, the coffee is set to be a game-changer. However, it isn’t just the coffee poised to steal hearts. The venue is an ode to airy elegance, featuring an expansive bar and coffee counter, a snug gathering nook with bespoke artwork, and a comprehensive retail section. Designed by the gifted minds at True Hand Society, the space effortlessly transitions from a sunlit café corner to a sophisticated cocktail hub, living up to Chestnut Hill’s aspirations for a late-night cocktail destination.
What sets Char & Stave Chestnut Hill apart from its Ardmore sibling is its pronounced upscale vibe, though they echo the brand’s ethos of quality, ambiance, and uniqueness. As Jared Adkins remarked, Chestnut Hill’s vibrant community had been craving a late-night cocktail haunt, and Char & Stave fulfills that void seamlessly.
Now, let’s talk flavors. Beyond the iconic medium roast drip coffee, the menu is an array of delights. From the Whiskey Smash Latte with barrel-aged espresso to the London is Blue with hints of blueberry and lavender, the drink list is nothing short of revolutionary. And as dusk settles, the café transforms. The cocktails, inspired by the café theme, make a grand entrance. From the Ardmore Old Fashioned with a hint of light roast to the Caffe Negroni blending gin with nitro cold brew, every drink promises a journey for the senses.
On the retail front, Char & Stave Chestnut Hill is all set to cater to coffee aficionados and spirit lovers alike. The roastery’s beans, previously exclusive to the Ardmore outpost, will now grace the shelves of both venues. Branded merchandise and spirits from Bluebird Distilling are up for grabs for those who’d like to bring a piece of the experience home.
Char & Stave Chestnut Hill is not just a café or a cocktail bar; it’s an experience, a journey through flavors, and a testament to Adkins’ vision of bringing a “killer café programming during the day, in addition to being the community’s only late-night cocktail bar” to Chestnut Hill.
