This past Saturday was the soft opening of new coffee shop, blacc vanilla. Located at 197 South Street just east of Downing Park, this new meeting spot will soon be an anchor to the north end of the city and South Street. Decorated in a dark urban vibe, playing catchy tunes, blacc vanilla will easily draw you in to stay for a while. They will be open at 7am starting Monday, September 11th. There is a wonderful story behind this building and business. Can’t wait to share it with you soon!
