Newstand bringing coffee and classics to Pearl area

Zoom out: Newstand is located on the first floor of the Jefferson Bank building, which opened in March 2023.

• Newstand is right by Nineteen Hyaku, which opened last fall, and near Pullman Market, which opened at Pearl on April 23.

Dig in: The menu includes drip coffee, of course, and lattes, cappuccinos and cold brews.

• Plus, there are sandwiches and pastries made in-house.

The vibe: It's a light and airy space that Rodriguez describes as eclectic, where nothing needs to match but it all comes together. She says it represents the patronage they're hoping to attract.

• "As people come in, nobody needs to be the same, but they will go together and it will create community," she says.
• The couple says the goal is for Newstand to be a type of third place, where customers can grab a coffee and snack to start their days.

Yes, but: Newstand won't just be a morning stop. After its official debut next week, it will be open until 7pm with wine and snacks like cheese boards.

What they're saying: "What we're trying to provide is a port of entry for everybody based around quality and enjoyment, and really focus on good stories and good things made by good people," Pressley says.

If you go: Take advantage of the free parking across from the shop on East Josephine.

• And check out Obituaries, a small vintage shop also owned by the couple, located in a back section of the space.
