QuoteThe Residences at Barnett building Downtown is in review for a cafe, barista and market on the ground floor along West Adams Street.

The city is reviewing a permit for tenant build-out of 646 square feet for the Barnett Cafe for dining, coffee, a market and back-of-house space at 112 W. Adams St.

The permit specifies tenant build-out of cafe space on the first floor. That square footage is relatively small, similar to the size of a coffee kiosk in the suburbs where customers pick up coffee at the drive-thru window.

Would be shocked if it happens! Nothing that was announced for the building has been done or started yet. Can't wait for my lease to be done.

I can admit when I am wrong, but construction has started on the cafe in the building. Still don't know how and if it will work, but at least framing is up. I'll get pics for the group soon.
