There's a new coffee shop in Church Hill North.
Why it matters: That part of the city has long been a bit of a coffee shop desert, especially after Rise closed in 2024.
The big picture: Peaberry Coffeehouse opened last week at 1301 N. 32nd St., a few blocks from Oakwood Playground and Soul N' Vinegar.
- And it's owned by Alexa Schuett, who also runs Riverbend and Liberty Public House — affectionally dubbed the Lesbian Pancake House.
The star: The decor, which feels straight out of an Architectural Digest magazine.
- Its bright blue exterior is matched with a comfy mustard yellow sofa and rose-colored velvet seats placed beside the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows.
- There's ample seating, including some outside, and each table has yellow or red flowers in colorful vases.
Plus: There's a lift outside for wheelchair access or anyone who can't take stairs.
On the menu: Specialty lattes ($5.50 for small, $6 for medium) like a cookie butter shaken espresso, banana bread latte and a blueberry chai with cold foam.
- There are also pastries, including biscuits with a honey blueberry spread.
If you go: Its soft opening hours are 6am-5pm on weekdays and 7am-5pm on weekends.
