Cult L.A. import Handsome Coffee Roasters had been slated to open an upstairs shop at Demi Monde, but now we learn the roaster has pulled out of that arrangement (just a week after the restaurant-bar lost chef Phillip Kirschen-Clark). Handsome still plans to open an NYC outpost; while it sorts that out, it’ll stage a series of pop-up coffee bars around the city — keep an eye on Tumblr and Twitter for details.
