Forthcoming Silver Stone Cafe Takes a Bold Stand Against Serving Breakfast and Lunch

Tagged: Carlos Club, COFFEE SHOP NEWS, is this post 'the end' of uptown almanac?, obsessing over trivial shit, Silver Stone Cafe

I've been trying to figure out what's up with Silver Stone Cafe (which is moving into the old Carlos Club spot on 24th and Mission) crossing out breakfast and lunch from their coming soon signage alllll morning. Are they returning us to a time before coffee shops felt compelled to serve small plate nonsense, offering up a little "fuck you, we don't mess with that shit" smack talk in the process? Perhaps they tasted their coffee and realized the line would be out the door regardless, so why bother? Just an honest mistake? Their oven broke?

Guys, this is important. Someone deliver me from this maddened curiosity and produce a suitable explanation forthwith.

Dude, it's a design fail. Breakfast highlighted. Lunch highlighted. Coffee - wait this looks like shit - not highlighted.

^I was about to post the exact same comment. Definitely agree.

I believe its the same owner as Carlos' Bar. He had to change the business since he lost his liquor license.

Ya, his "son" was at the Royal Cuckoo on Monday, shelling out benjamins for his barstool neighbours' Jameson/Gingers... pulled out a hand-penciled version of the hand-painted sign that's now up and said, "that's my dad's place. It's gonna be a coffee shop, open up in a week or so." Gold teeth included. Gilberto - if you read this - thanks for the drinks.

This shoo definitely isn't trying to tailor the Sugarlump/Haus/Summit crowd. It'll be interesting to see how it is and how it's received.

You sure that's not the "Silver Stove"?

Why would they call it Silver; it's not near Silver avenue; they're just confusing the tourists. Also, given how upscale the area is becoming, when I buy my Silver Stove coffee cup, will it have a silver spoon shaped a bit like a spatula?
