The 49 Coffee House at 49 East Main Street in Springville now has a drinking and dining area in the back called “The Mullet”! The newly opened late-afternoon-and-evening “sibling” down the hall from the coffee house offers a variety of hand-crafted cocktails, bourbon, wine and craft beer, cider and seltzer. It also serves non-alcoholic drinks and coffee. The food menu will be introduced gradually and it will feature items on flatbreads, the “Jake & The Fatman” panini from the coffee house, charcuterie boards and desserts from “Sugargoat Baking & Grazing”. They will also offer all kinds of bulk candy, sold by the ounce at the Coffee House.
The 49 Coffee House offers coffee and tea, breakfast and brunch, has interesting decor and, for years, has served as a daytime social hub for the surrounding area. Its menu has something for everyone, ranging from bagels to bubble tea, soup, sandwiches, and much more. Breakfast eaters enjoy the Belgian Waffles; the Sweet Potato Bowl, topped with honey, cinnamon, walnuts and raisins, and the hard-boiled egg on avocado toast, among other things. Brunch fans enjoy the Buffalo Chicken & Waffle Panini, and more, while people there for lunch often order the “Jake & The Fatman” barbecue panini, with pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, pickles, and more. The kids who gather there every day after school order all sorts of things, as do the friends and family groups who meet there for breakfasts, lunches and brunches. Parents bring their children there for a treat, such as cookies, or a bag of chocolates to take home, and it’s often a meeting place for business associates, and so much more. The decor includes art on the walls and into the hallway, blackboards full of dining choices, and seating areas including half-booth/half tables and seats offering a view of Main Street. Hours are Saturday-Sunday 8am-4pm and Monday-Friday 6am-5pm.
The hours of “The Mullet” are from Thursday through Saturday 4-11pm. The bar has a shelf above it with various kinds of candy lined up, there are cozy tables and there’s a Pac-Man arcade game that works for .25 a game.
Lindsay and Kevin Buncy co-own the coffee house, The Mullet and another coffee house in Arcade, NY. She handles the business but they’re both always thinking up and implementing ideas for improving their places. “We decided to open The Mullet after a few years of contemplating what would be the best way to grow our business, and create the most revenue,” she said, “but most importantly, add to the Springville community. We wanted to create a space that didn’t already exist in the area. Plus, we wanted to give people the ability to have a great drink while socializing in a unique, chill environment where they feel safe and welcomed. In Arcade, another game is arriving and there will be complimentary games of pool.”
“The Arcade location is doing great.”, she continued. “Our first year in Arcade has been very comparable to our first year in Springville. We have noticed increased traffic from the train and the community. The top selling items there are our bagel sandwiches, bubble tea, nitro cold brew and the Buffalo Chicken waffle panini”. The Arcade coffee shop is located at 277 Main Street in Arcade, NY. It is open Monday through Friday, from 6am-7pm, Saturdays from 8am-7pm and Sundays from 8-4pm.
“At ‘The Mullet’, we plan to add more food options in the coming weeks, including Sunday brunch and to offer the space to rent during off hours for small events. We are forever growing our company and have more plans in the works for 2023”, said Ms. Buncy. For more information, call (716) 794-3098.
