"I learned that Kayla Bellman plans to open a third Finca to Filter this summer in two repurposed buildings in the Penman complex on Hamilton Avenue. The Boulevard Heights shop will be the largest location yet with 35 seats inside plus additional covered-patio seating, positioned just off the Southside Beltline in a very pedestrian- and bike-friendly area. It will operate as an all-day coffee shop with an expanded food menu serving breakfast burritos, egg dishes, and toasts in the morning, then offering frozen desserts in the afternoons such as frozen bananas, chocolate bars made from fair trade chocolate and cacao, ice cream, and even champagne. Bellman emphasizes making Finca part of the community and accessible to everyone. Anticipated hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (days TBD)." - Beth McKibben
