NIGHTBREAD

Nightbread is a wine and cocktail bar. An idea gifted to a friend whose unstoppable spirit and willful drive evoked an imagination. Behind her existing morning vegan bakery and day lit pizza parlor existed and empty space. And obvious after-hours nighttime haunt. Night blooming Jasmine candles burn as their floral vines hang from above. Nightscape Soundtracks laced with Nick Drake,Yo La Tengo and Cricket Chirps echo throughout. Victorian mirrors marked boldly with lip-sticked, nearly morning, messages hang outside the gold-leafed star spotted powder room. Of course there are the black baguettes, and warm vegan butter, from the brilliant, bold, and finally beautiful baker and owner; her cat’s silhouette in the rain glass loft office window above. Live mushrooms grow about in the moist moss filled vessels, edible, and magical. All beneath the giant coastal sea blue moonscape mural, hand painted in the late night hours, over dangerous tea and poetry, by secret artists escaping their day jobs.
