Mount Pleasant Coffeehouse Closes for Brief Refresh

A Mount Pleasant coffee shop has shut down temporarily for a new coat of paint and other improvements.

Flying Fish Coffee and Tea at 3064 Mount Pleasant St. NW closed yesterday and is slated to reopen tomorrow, after the completion of the shop’s first makeover since it opened in 2011.

“It’s time to freshen up a little bit,” owner Michael Visser told Borderstan yesterday afternoon.

In addition to new paint, the coffeehouse will get some new furniture and equipment that is intended to help workers cook up breakfast sandwiches quicker.

On Mondays starting next week, Flying Fish also is slated to have pastries from Republic Kolache.
