Milwaukee-based Valentine Coffee Co. will open its second location, occupying space in Barrett Lo Visionary Development’s Emerald Row luxury apartment complex in the Drexel Town Square development in Oak Creek.
“First and foremost, we love their coffee,” said Rick Barrett, founder of Barrett Lo Visionary Development, “We’re excited that Valentine Coffee shares our vision for bringing urban amenities to Emerald Row and has decided to expand its Milwaukee operation into Oak Creek.”
The coffee shop will occupy a 1,700-square-foot stand-alone retail space. It will have 48 seats between a first level and mezzanine, and an additional 52 seats on the patio fronting Drexel Town Square. It is slated to open in late fall or early winter.
Valentine Coffee Co. currently operates a roastery and tasting room on West Vliet Street in Milwaukee.
Robb Kashevarof, founder and owner of Valentine Coffee, said the Oak Creek location will be a place for neighbors to gather for a meal, coffee or a glass of beer or wine.
“We will also have a selection of fresh, locally sourced menu items for neighbors to take along to work for the day, to the adjacent square or bring home,” Kashevarof said.
Valentine Coffee will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
“Valentine Coffee will be another exciting new destination spot for residents and visitors to Drexel Town Square in Oak Creek,” said Oak Creek Mayor Stephen Scaffidi, “It adds to the already great mix of restaurants and retail that will be on the site, and something that people have been asking for.”
