Cheap Eats 2010

I didn't understand the name until owners John and Heather Chandler explained the meticulous three-year restoration of this historic building on Stark: The former general store was 20 inches off center when they bought it. After correcting the lean, they moved their attention to a custom-built bar constructed from wood found in the basement. The shop is charmingly strewn with antique items from the original store. Six weeks after opening, the Chandlers are hitting their stride. The small-batch-roasted beans have been good from the get-go and promise to get better with time.
