New Addition to Market Square

Submitted by CBT on Thu, 2007/12/06 - 11:33pm.

A new store is opening Friday in (near) Market Square. They have greek pastries, italian desserts, good chocolates and various coffee drinks. It's in the space on Union, between Market Square and Gay, where the cigar place used to be.

A nice young man is the owner/operator. He and his girlfriend were stocking shelves and arranging displays tonight. They were even nice enough to sell a tired lawyer two cannolis to take home, even if they weren't officially open. I recognized the nice young man from his previous store. You may not recognize him, but if you've ever had the pleasure of a wonderful pizza or sandwich at Harby's out on Walker Blvd., you've probably met his dad...Mr. Harb. The chocolate and coffee shop operated for a time next door to Harby's. Now, they've moved downtown. Give 'em a try.

Do you think they'll be open after tomorrow's parade?

Now this sounds delightful.

Hey I know these folks! Good for them...

They are great people and their shop is whistle clean and smells like heaven. The little store on Walker was way too small. I haven't been there for weeks, but every time I get a little mad money I rush over to indulge myself. They do go out of their way because once I had my puppy with me and they let me order something by shouting through the door. The pup and I were sitting on a bench. When the coffee was done they brought it out to me.

Harby's is a trip. Kind of like Mo at King Tut's, his Dad is a special envoy from the planet Nice. The decor is a wild flashback. The food is excellent too.

I think they will do very well.

Is this the same Harb

Is this the same Harb (Shareif, maybe? --pardon the sp) who makes the vegan chocolate peanut butter cups called Monkee Moos? Those are the best! If it is, I just hope he's still making those.

Factchecker, I think you've

Factchecker, I think you've got the right guy. I don't know about the monkee moos.

We've been by twice now and

We've been by twice now and they're good. I sorta miss them being off broadway as it made it easier to stop by on my Saturday morning rounds.
They'll do well where they are.
