This is great news. B&O Espresso (currently located at Belmont and Olive) is moving to the old Dilettante location on Broadway.
Their current building was sold out from underneath them last year to be developed into condos… from what I remember, they couldn’t come up with enough money to purchase it themselves.
that’s really a great and central spot. so much better than dilettante. Broadway needs more high-quality businesses like that.
Their rum balls are to die for, and now they’ll be that much closer to me… Oh no…!
One of the owners of the B&O just told me two weeks ago that the people who owned the lot got cold feet about turning them into condos (what with the housing market) and that they put off the plans to tear down the place for 4 years.
WTF?
So B & O stands for Belmont & Olive. With the new location we can obviously have the B stand for Broadway. What should the O stand for?
There was a HUGE sign, hard to miss at the Dilettante location.
So, I just called B&O to confirm. They are going to have TWO locations, including their current spot for the next three years. Pretty sweet.
