A little bit of both. Ultimately the coffee shop entrance faces inward, but there are floor to ceiling windows facing the sidewalk on Camelback with decorative screening, and there was mention, at least previously, of there being a public pathway to the coffee shop from the sidewalk. Some renderings show a door facing Camelback with a cafe table on the patio, but I haven't seen that door in the final build. The Newton building (formerly Beefeaters) with Changing Hands Bookstore, First Draft Book Bar, and Southern Rail is immediately adjacent to the east, reaching to the corner of 3rd Ave & Camelback. As far as I can tell, this new coffee shop is meant to serve both the hotel and the neighborhood, but the hotel seems to be the primary focus. It's going to be operated independently by Cartel.
