COMING SOON >>>

I can't remember the last time a new restaurant actually opened in Tacoma on the exact date proclaimed by the owner. There are too many variables, many out of the hands of the owner.

Kevin McGlocklin continues to ready his new venture, Bluebeard Coffee, at the corner of Sixth and State, the former spot held by Rector's Antiques and Wardrobe, and back in the '90s, - Café WA. McGlocklin's estimate opening date of December 2010 for Bluebeard Coffee has passed. And pressing our noses against the window, it looks as if he's within a month of opening.

McGlocklin's creation will carry coffees from around the world, including Fair Trade products, offering them to the public as one would if they were wines. He'll serve coffee drinks and baked goods with a enough wifi power for people to (like, totally) Facebook their Bluebeard experiences.

The sign on the door says Bluebeard will be open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekedays, and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekends.

Stay tuned.
