"Coming to Capitol Hill later this summer, Stitch Cafe will double as a crochet and crafting hub and a full espresso bar and tea shop: it will provide yarn and other materials, offer classes for those interested in learning, and serve an array of teas. I note the founder, Sarah Chae, an LGBTQIA+ fiber artist, aims to cultivate an environment that is welcoming and comfortable for everybody, and that Stitch will occupy the Pine Street space that formerly housed Poco Bar and Lounge. Chae is partnering with Shimon Masaki of Upright Tree Coffee Roasters, who will be supplying the coffee." - Harry Cheadle
