New openings

Sugidama, a new Japanese place serving house-made soba and itzakaya-grilled meats, soft-opened next to Davis Square Family Practice late last week. They're open for lunch & dinner starting this week.

Not too far from Davis, the Winter Hill Brewing Company opened today, serving Counter Culture coffee in the mornings. Their evening brewery opens soonish.

Still to come, probably in this order: Opa Greek Yeeros, Davis Square Donuts and Bagels, and Oath Craft Pizza.

Winter Hill Brewing Company is about a 10-minute walk from my house. I've been awaiting their opening with bated breath! I'm more interested in the beer than in the coffee, though.

Oooh....I shall need to find a reason to walk to the bank or the post office and grab a coffee this week. Thanks for the heads-up. We really needed a coffee shop over heah on the Hill.

It sounds cool that they are going for a "morning cafe" feel also, in that general area there is not a whole lot for coffee - other than dunkin donuts of course

I dropped by Winter Hill Brewing today. They had no pastries or other food yet to eat with their coffee, but they expect to have that starting tomorrow. Also, they told me they will have a "soft opening" for beer this Friday at 4 pm, with a public opening to follow Saturday at noon.

(I'm reluctant to make a top-level post about that until I see an official-looking announcement.)

Stopped into Sugidama with friends. Really beautiful space, completely transformed from the clinic it used to be -- open, bright, lots of wood. Sukiyaki soba was delicious, as were the itzakaya grilled meats we tried. Looking forward to stopping in for lunch.

I ate at Sugidama last night and it was beyond wonderful. Everything was super fresh and my friend who lived in Japan many years was extremely happy.

Sugidama is good!

Went to Sugidama today. They don't have lunch specials yet so they're using their dinner menu with a discount. The miso is amazing — I ,mentioned that and was told it's made the old-fashioned way with bonito rather than from a mix.
