The owner lives in Pleasantville, and perhaps most exciting, it seems to be the first retail space occupied in Pleasantville since the changes started coming.
They have $0.49 coffees this week to celebrate their opening, and their baked goods are pretty fantastic. If anyone is out around Pleasantville, swing by.

That building is owned by the Homeless Network (or whatever their name is). I believe the coffee shop is set up as a social enterprise and they use the money to help finance their organization while also employing residents of the buildings and others who need job experience and whatnot to get back on their feet.
