This September, co-owners Anthony and Damon Mascieri will open the first expansion of their popular East Passyunk eatery in Center City, which is called Plenty Café Rittenhouse. The airy, bi-level coffee shop is moving into 1602 Spruce Street, a beautiful and historic building that offers plenty of seating and gorgeous architectural elements to gawk at. One of the coolest features of the breakfast experience is the multitude of hyper-local coffees that will be available to diners, like Rival Bros., La Colombe, and ReAnimator. And you early birds are covered, too, as Plenty Café will be open Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
