"A popular Pearl Street coffee shop run by twin brothers Zahi and Hani Yaafouri is expanding into a 110-year-old former fire station, where the owners plan a sensitive restoration to retain the building's historic character. The design-savvy first location, housed in an old Pearl Street house, is known for its exposed brick, industrial lighting, and garage doors that open onto a patio; the new site will be redesigned by one of the owners (an architect) to make the coffee shop fit the former Fire Station No. 7 while preserving its historic feel." - Paul Albani-Burgio
