Former Subway and Harbour Coffee location on Myrtle being renovated by new owners

 

(temporary logo, I will update with a new sign)

I had reported in September and October that Harbour Coffee was closing and new owners were taking over. This is the old Subway location on 1651 Myrtle. The new owners are renovating  Aroma's Coffee and as I reported previously, they are two local women.

I spoke with co-owner Marisol who is from McKinleyville and her business partner is from Hydesville. She has been in Humboldt for 20 years and has extensive experience in coffee and the restaurant business. Right now, the cafe is expected to open in two to three weeks. They will feature locally roasted coffee, chai from local business and the food will include several grab and go items and Mexican items such as tacos, burritos, chilaquiles and tamales. After speaking with Marisol and the vision for the business, I have a better understanding of why the business is starting out with a fresh concept and new staff. I am saving some details I learned today for their opening.
