Natalia Alcazar will open the second location of her popular Dahlia Coffee (4855 Broadview Rd., 216-415-5354) in Old Brooklyn on Sunday, August 16th. The café joins the original shop (2085 W. 114th St., 216-302-7785) in the Cudell neighborhood on Cleveland’s west side.
The spacious building was briefly home to Rebel Reserve. The extra square footage will allow Alcazar to expand her offerings, offer more seating, and partner with even more small, local businesses.
“We’re going to try really, really hard to use people in the neighborhood and buy from their businesses,” she states. “We want to do more made-to-order breakfast options, like breakfast sandwiches and burritos, lunch sandwiches. The new space will be able to give us the ability to do that because of the layout.”
Alcazar is also looking forward to hosting more community-based events such paint nights with local artists, latte art competitions, or pop-up vendor markets such as Ghost Market in her attached parking lot. She also plans on keeping later hours given the residential nature of the neighborhood.
There will be few changes to her coffee program, she adds.
“I focus more on Central American coffee because I’m Mexican,” says Alcazar. “I roast beans from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia. I tend to roast a little darker – not super, super dark. I roast to medium or dark roast, but the quality of the coffee and tasting notes are still there.”
Alcazar says that there will be no significant changes to her original Cudell coffee shop.
