According to a tweet from B Talent, Big Shoulders Coffee is slated to take over the former home of Herbs & Alchemy at 1165 W Diversey Parkway.
A representative of Big Shoulders Coffee was not immediately available to comment upon What Now Chicago’s request.
While an official opening date has yet to be confirmed, the two founders of Big Shoulders Coffee are Patricia and Tim Coonan, according to the company website .
“At Big Shoulders Coffee, we stand for freshly roasted, no-nonsense artisan coffee. Our coffee is born out of a love for learning about people, food, and culture. Founder Tim Coonan began as a chef working at some of the most prestigious restaurants in New York, France, Italy, and Chicago.”
“His love affair with coffee goes back to the 1980s when he went on origin trips and studied roasting techniques. What began as a hobby of roasting beans in his garage evolved into Chicago’s premier roasting facility and Big Shoulders Coffee cafes.”
“Beans are sourced from farmers we have grown relationships with and roasted specifically to preserve the integrity and essence of the coffee. We brew the coffee with down-to-the-second precision. You will taste the difference.”
“Patricia Coonan shares a heritage of over 30+ years in hospitality and the restaurant business with her fellow co-founder, Tim Coonan. Patricia met Tim at the legendary Chicago restaurant Spiaggia and together they forged a partnership in life and business.”
“Tim Coonan’s 35+ years working in hospitality has taken him around the globe, training and working at some of the finest restaurants in the world. But in his heart, he’s a Midwesterner.”
