Handsome Coffee Roasters has been well known for its delicious coffee. Well, its official Chris Owens, Tyler Wells and Michael Phillips have already announced that they will be expanding to New York with a walk-up coffee bar located in Wall Street, along with opening a flagship store in L.A.
In February 2012, Handsome Coffee Roasters will open in the Arts District at 582 Mateo. The décor in the coffee establishment will provide all customers with insight on the full operation with metal walls and 13 foot glass partitioned so that all visitors are delighted with the view of the roastery, coffee bar and wholesale operations, ideally, a wonderful sight to see, especially when enjoying a fresh cup of coffee.
According to Phillips, the 2010 World Barista Champion and co-founder, “we needed a perfect location to make this dream a reality. Fortunately, Los Angeles fit the bill as a city that cares a great deal about craft, creativity and quality.”
