Espresso Royale Caffe on Gainsborough Street to Become Pavement Coffeehouse

A cafe near Northeastern University that is part of a small group of local spots is getting ready to become the second location of a coffee house that is affiliated with the same folks.

According to their Facebook page, Espresso Royale Caffe on Gainsborough Street is going to change over to Pavement Coffeehouse, joining another Pavement location on Boylston Street near where the Back Bay and the Fenway meet. The Facebook page mentions that renovations begin on the space today (March 12) and that they will be "giving the cafe section some much needed love and adding some fun new options (more on that soon!)."

[March 26 update: According to their Facebook page, the new Pavement Coffeehouse on Gainsborough Street is now open.]

The first Pavement Coffeehouse opened on Boylston Street in April of 2010, taking over the space where Jack's Drum Shop had been. Remaining Espresso Royale locations can be found on Newbury Street in the Back Bay and Commonwealth Avenue at Boston University.

The address for the new Pavement Coffeehouse near Northeastern University is 44 Gainsborough Street, Boston, MA, 02115. Their website is at http://www.pavementcoffeehouse.com/
