Ack!....Pillow is moving!

hmmm...there's that restored place that's part of the Myrtle Avenue Revitalization project that would be a perfect place for a coffee shop.

That yellow building attached to Castro's seemed to be having a lot of activity but I assumed it was part of Castro's expansion.

There's the McD's space as well as Planet Pleasure...

I'm actually excited - I live close to that area and hated walking to Tillie's. (Which I never thought had great coffee and the service was really slow.)

Sounds good to me. Anything to compete with Bergen Bagels. They have good bagels, but the crowds in the moring, esp. on weekends, are completely unreasonable.I agree Boygabriel. I think Bergen Bagels is gettin' too big for their breeches. The last time I was there they told me that they don't take credit cards. Wha?? And while the bagels are OK, they are not to die for and certainly not worth a long wait. I hope Pillow will bring it on, because it's time for some competition.

New2Brooklyn is now The Changeling

Are you all kidding? Am I on crazy pills? Maybe I just have low bagel standards, because I love Bergen's.

Subject: New Pillows location

I'll be moving in soon around Classon and Lexington. Where is pillows going to be on Myrtle?

Thanks for the info.

yes, they're moving to 505 myrtle avenue. i think there's a "for rent" sign in front. Awesome!

Subject: Weird Pricing

Does anyone else find it odd that it cost $2.17 for a large coffee at Pillow Cafe? $2 on the board plus 17¢ in taxes.

What not just buld the taxes into the cost of the coffee? That's what most places do.

Cafe Martino's coffee is just as good, the people there are just as nice so why should I pay a 42¢ premium to buy a coffee from Pillow?

Relax, angel. Nobody send they weren't good for the community and nobody said the girls weren't doing a fine job.

Stop being so sensitive. It was an observational comment on the price. I try to spread my love amongst all the coffee shops in the nabe, including Pillow since they have great hot chocolate and they're open later.
