Original Grinds set to open on Caroline St.

Simon Watts and Ethan Rusch will be continuing the vision and vibe of Katora Coffee.  Announced yesterday via Instagram, Watts stated, “We couldn’t just let it end.”  Original Grinds or OGs will be opening at 613 Caroline St.

They further stated, “The home we built at Katora Coffee didn’t just change the town, it changed all of our lives. When we heard about the bankruptcy, we immediately got to work and came up with a plan to save the shop at 615 Caroline Street. Thanks from the constant support from the Zammas’ and our landlord Sophia, Ethan and I purchased the bones of Katora, the espresso machine, the stage, and everything else we could. We have been well underway overhauling the space into something new, while preserving Katora’s mission of inclusivity and creativity. Ethan and I’s new business is called Original Grinds, but you can call it OGs for short. We’ll be releasing more updates soon as they develop on our new page @ogsfxbg.”

Our City and Downtown community welcomes you both.
