Sample SOVA Saturday

Frank Hankins, the owner, plans to open up at about noon and give away FREE espresso shots until they run out. He doesn't have his certificate of occupancy yet, so you won't be able to purchase anything from him, but this is a chance to meet him and sample the wares a bit. The second floor is being used for festival stuff most of the day. Accordingly, those desiring a look at the full space should stop by after 4pm. SOVA Wine & Espresso (they will be opening without a liquor license, but hope to obtain one soon) is locate at 1359 H Street in the space formerly occupied by R&B Coffee.

I met Frank a couple of months ago -- nice guy. My wife and I are really looking forward to SOVA.

Alan,
Alphonso sold the business a while back. He ran into some financial problems and sought to return to the IT work that had previously been his profession. Though I certainly miss seeing Alphonso, I am very glad that Frank will have SOVA open very shortly.

Any word on if Sova will be open this weekend, even with limited offerings?

I don't think so. Frank promised to let me know once they were ready, and I haven't heard anything in that vein from him yet.
