Nine Bar Espresso Planning to Open in Somerville's Davis Square

It looks like a new cafe may be coming to Somerville, moving into the space where another cafe had been for a very short period of time.

Eater Boston is reporting (via a licensing commission page) that Nine Bar Espresso is looking to open in Davis Square, taking over the former Kindred Tea and Tonic Cafe on Holland Street. (Kindred opened in December of 2014, only to shut down approximately three months later.) The article mentions that it appears there is a connection between the upcoming spot and Simon's Coffee Shop in Cambridge, as Simon Yu and S&H Coffee Company Inc. (the person and company behind Simon's, respectively) are both listed in the hearing notice.

Another place called Simon's Too--which was also affiliated with Simon's Coffee Shop--closed this spring and has been replaced by Cafe Anthony; Simon's Too was located on Mass. Ave. between Harvard Square and Central Square, while the original Simon's is also located on Mass. Ave., between Porter Square and Harvard Square.

The address for the proposed Nine Bar Espresso is 11 Holland Street, Somerville, MA, 02144.
