“The increased square footage will not only provide ample room for thecoffee retailer’s food and drink menu, but it will also boast newfeatures, including an iced coffee bar, which will serve zero-proofmixed coffee drinks (drink recipes are still in development)” Blue Bottle told Inside Scoop earlier this week. They’re aiming to have the South Park location open on November 14, and coffee service will end at the Heath kiosk on October 16. This leaves them no time as Manufactory is clearly dominating the roasting game — if you haven’t seen the multiple Instagram blasts by coffee goers alike then you gotta use your explore tab.

And even though the two companies were very close to a merger, this added pressure from Tartine’s new concept roaster had clearly shaken up Blue Bottle enough to close their beloved kiosk. ”[We] decided that remaining separate companies makes the most sense.“

// So get yourself to 2900 18th St, Mission, before October 16th before the kiosk permanently closes. Or you could try Manufactory literally across the street.
