HERKIMER Coffee....OPEN!

Time to get your latte on in the newest Herkimer Coffee location now OPEN in South Lake Union, 901 Dexter Ave N.

Herkimer coffee, now with 3 Seattle locations, prides itself on the quality of their coffee and dedication to purchasing premium green coffee from farms that practice traditional cultivation methods, no pesticides and fertilizers, only natural deliciousness.

Why is there a bridge in their logo and now part of the décor in the new location? It's an image of the Herkimer Bridge located in Herkimer NY where the owner's father is from. It was completed in 1903 by a bridge builder named Beckwith Quackenbush...his quirky name and the fact that he became a carpenter at the age of 12 is cool enough history for us. At Mallet, we appreciate old-world craftsmanship, and this historic stone arch bridge is a beautiful piece of the past.

Go check out the gorgeous coffee bar and custom steel staircase that leads to mezzanine seating. The space is illuminated with floor to ceiling windows all the way around, a great place for a daily reprieve!

Percy's is OPEN!

Ladies and Gentlemen may we introduce to you...PERCY'S.

An American in Paris

The term 'Classique' in French is often used when speaking about style, ambience and a description of something that is reliable, expected and sustains history in a classic way. Much like classical literature, art, or music.

Today I visited and dined in the Ralph Lauren store and restaurant on Boulevard Saint Germain in Paris. C'est trés beau et classique.

In a world where modern design is the trend in new spaces, and often times is void of warmth...it is nourishing to be surrounded by the beauty and history of a stately Parisian townhome turned store and restaurant with classic RL intimacy and unwavering sophisticated rustic charm.

Watch this RL video to see the journey of this space being built.

C'est magnifique!

Percy's & Co. Ballard

We are only a few weeks out from delivering the next destination bar in Ballard, Percy's & Co. The building and location are so special, in a historical sense. It has been a bar since 1898! Yes, that's 115 years, and throughout the prohibition you know they had a speak easy in the back...imagine all memories made here.

The cool factor of this apothecary style bar is a given when you consider who is behind it all. Wade Weigel and Jeff Ofelt who are Seattle rockstars in their own right...collectively they have brought us the Ace Hotel, Rudy's barbershops, King's Hardware, Bimbo's Cantina & the Cha-Cha lounge. Partnering with Kyle Taylor and Joe Peterson, longtime friends and veterans of New York City’s Apotheke. 

I can't wait to order a special cocktail with infusions and tinctures to heal whatever ails me!
