‘Coffee and Pastry’ coming soon to space formerly occupied by Aurora Coffee.

UPDATE (July 9, 2014): Highland Bakery Owner Talks New Concept

The famed Highland Bakery is adding a new concept to its growing repertoire of Atlanta restaurants.

“Coffee and Pastry,” the tentative name for the bakery’s new sister concept, is slated to open at 992 North Highland Ave., Henry Schwab, the architect overseeing the project, told What Now Atlanta (WNA) in a telephone interview Tuesday.

Schwab’s firm Architecture + Engineering filed a building permit application with City of Atlanta Monday as a first step in renovating the space, most recently occupied by Aurora Coffee.

The project is “small,” according to Schwab, and the space will look similar to the previous tenant. Most of the renovations include upgrades like ADA-compliant restrooms, he said.

Coffee is on track to open late summer, early fall.

Highland Bakery has locations in Old Fourth Ward, Midtown, Buckhead, G.A. Tech, and Emory. The bakery was not immediately available for comment.
