Del Ray institution St. Elmo's Coffee Pub appears to be opening a second location.
According to plans on the 530 First Street website from the Edens development company, St. Elmo's Coffee Pub is opening a new location in the 500 block of Montgomery Street in Old Town North.
The retail space is a part of the new 530 First Street development, which includes multiple retailers (including West Elm and the restaurant Oak Steakhouse) and hundreds of luxury apartments.
The new space is 2,200 square feet.
The original St. Elmo's Coffee Pub at 2300 Mt. Vernon Ave. opened in 1996. Founder Nora Partlow sold the business in 2015 to Culinary Concepts, which is owned by Alexandria business owners Larry and Christine Ponzi, who also own Del Ray's Market to Market.
No one answered the phone at the original St. Elmo's Monday night.
The new St. Elmo's Coffee Pub is number 145 on the retail guide below from the Edens website.
