Cafe, Convenience Store Combo Coming To Inwood

INWOOD, NY - A new cafe and convenience store concept is slated to set up shop on Broadway in Inwood, according to the commercial real estate broker behind the leasing.

The mom-and-pop store, which has yet to be named, will open at 4931 Broadway near 207th Street, Helen Demetrious of Zelnik & Co. told Patch.

The shop will provide grab-and-go coffees, smoothies and small bites to commuters using the subway and buses along Broadway, Demetrious said.

The space has seen a slew of tenants over the years. Its latest occupant was Castle Beauty & Accessories; the location also served as the site of a Cricket Wireless and clothing store over the past decade.

"We’ve had a couple of the bigger guys look at it," Demetrious said of the space, which was ultimately leased to a "mom-and-pop" business owner who she declined to name.

An opening date has yet to be announced.

The fate of the space next door - an Indian restaurant that shared the 4931 Broadway address - remains to be seen.
