the new hines

it is with much joy and relief that i post about the new hines. after many LONG months waiting and wondering, we are FINALLY moving. our new locale will still be on eastlake -- the hines crew is very happy we are staying in the neighborhood and our regulars are even happier.

so what now? we have spent the last week moving to our new address, 2203 eastlake ave e (at the end of block north on the same side of our former location, across the street from serafina). ALL of us are tired and cannot wait to get our new digs up and running. currently, we cannot serve as a retail location -- we are working on permits for a cart while our plans and permits for a retail space and cafe are worked out. we hope to have a cart at the new space up and running within 4-6 weeks. we hope to have the new cafe up and running in about 6 months. until then, we will continue our wholesale and retail wholebean coffee sales. we will still do our own roasting out of a few local roasters (thanks in advance for their hospitality and generosity).

i think i have covered most of the important questions. we will post more as news progresses. thanks to the coffee community for your suppport and well wishes -- the hines crew know you all rock and hope you come by and say hello if you're ever in seattle.
