gnu Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Kaldi used to be one of my favorite cafes. I have missed it DEARLY for a few years now (I think it closed in 2002). Since then, Stephanie, the owner, got married and started a family. Last year (or the year before) she said (via the Kaldi website) that she was going to reopen in a new spot somewhere near Studewood and 20th. But now her website is down and I haven't heard anything new on the restaurant. Does anyone know what her plans for Kaldi are now??? I want my Brave Combo!

mkultra25 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Just noticed last night that Chippendale Eastlake Antiques on the corner of 19th and Rutland is gone - space has been cleared out and there is a for lease sign on the front of the building. Anyone know what happened to them? Gone out of business, moved elsewhere, untenable rent increase, or something else? They seemed like a fixture in that spot, and had been there as long as I've been living in the area. I don't think Braun will have much trouble leasing the space, as something that size in the center of activity on 19th doesn't become available very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I heard the owner retired. That's a good point though, that is a prime business area. Funny how when the old businesses leave you don't notice it at the time, but after the fact it surprises you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 When Braun bought the building many of the dealers assumed the worst and found new spaces. Braun was actually willing to work with them, but too many dealers had left by that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mab Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Quote he former Chippendale's Antiques store on 19th Street at Rutland is being carved into three retail stores including a specialty sneaker chain based in California, Braun Enterprises announced. "Nineteenth street already has tons of walking traffic and these stores will only add to it," said Zach Wolf of Braun Enterprises. The midcentury building's exterior will undergo a "light redevelopment" and will keep a fresh retro look, Wolf said. Construction will begin in the next 60 to 90 days after permits are secured. Proper Shoes, a Long Beach, Calif., store dealing in classic sneakers and rare shoes, has leased 1,963 square feet. Mary & Moss, a women's clothing and gift boutique, will occupy 1,147 square feet. It's a concept of Vanessa Wodehouse, owner of Big Blue Whale Toys. Negotiations are underway to bring a dessert shop to the corner space, Wolf said.

More on Mary & Moss opening at 250 W 19th (old Chippendale Eastlake Antiques store) from The Leader: The store will join Proper Shoes, a specialty sneaker chain based in California, at the site of the former Chippendale’s Antiques store, which was purchased by Braun Enterprises. Woodhouse says that the current plan is for Mary & Moss to be 40 percent gifts, 30 percent clothes and 30 percent accessories. She’ll start looking for inventory next month. ...“I know what the traffic patterns are here,” Woodhouse said. “It was a safer bet. And the ease of being across the street is a bonus.” Mary & Moss will be between Proper Shoes and a tobe named tenant who would fill the corner spot. Proper Shoes will be next to Shade restaurant. Woodhouse hopes to be open by the holidays of 2017.

From Eater Houston this morning: Currently only available at Petite Sweets and Lee’s Fried Chicken & Donuts, restaurateur Lee Ellis’ Cherry Pie Hospitality is set to bring his creamy frozen treats to a standalone location in the Heights. A tipster pointed Eater to permits filed for a remodel of the former Chippendale Eastlake Antiques building at 250 W. 19th Street, and all signs point to that location being the home of the very first outpost of Lee’s Creamery. With this latest addition, Ellis is continuing his takeover of the Heights, where he already operates Lee’s Fried Chicken & Donuts, Pi Pizza, and Star Fish. https://houston.eater.com/2017/7/24/16017908/lees-creamery-heights-location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From The Leader: Pastry chef Sharon Gofreed got married three weeks ago to become Sharon Leonard and that’s not the only big change in her life. This weekend is also the soft opening for Sweet Bribery, the pastry and ice-cream shop she is opening with other investors at 250 W. 19th St. The site of the former Chippendale Eastlake Antiques store was purchased by Braun Enterprises in 2015. Clothing stores Mary & Moss and Proper are already open next to Sweet Bribery. Leonard was previously the pastry chef at State of Grace, the JW Marriott Houston and Uchi. She says that she’s very excited for this newest endeavor and that most everything is being made in house. “There is something for every member of the family,” said Leonard. “Sweets for the kids with premium ice cream and toppings and superior products for parents as well. I am so proud of what we are offering. We won’t be your average ice-cream shop.”http://theleadernews.com/sweet-bribery-opens-on-19th-street/ Edited November 6, 2019 by CrockpotandGravel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastry chef Sharon Leonard (formerly Gofreed) has brought her talents to the shop at 250 W. 19th St that's part of local real estate developer Braun Enterprises' repurposing of the former Chippendale Eastlake Antiques store. Diners should recognize the CultureMap Tastemaker Awards Pastry Chef of the Year finalist from her work at Uchi, Main Kitchen at the JW Marriott downtown, and, mostly recently, State of Grace. Roost chef-owner Kevin Naderi has been linked to the project as a consultant, but all of the recipes are Leonard’s.http://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/09-13-18-sweet-bribery-heights-ice-cream-dessert-shop-19th-street-sharon-leonard-state-of-grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
