Online coffee company opens first store, in high-end plaza

NAPLES — Narrative Coffee Roasters, up until now an online wholesale coffee business, recently opened its first ever brick-and-mortar location.

The new store is in the Mercato shopping center in Naples, in the 1,301-square-foot former Second Cup space on Mercato’s main piazza that closed in 2019, according to a statement. The new Narrative Coffee Roasters will operate from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and will extend those hours as COVID-19 restrictions continue to be eased, the release adds.
