Tag: Yeppa & Co.

Yeppa & Co.’s new Beltline outpost has been open since May, but it seems as if it’s been there much longer—perhaps because of the name recognition from its wildly successful Buckhead Village location (an offshoot of Storico Fresco fame). The restaurant’s name pays tribute to a beloved figure from cofounder Stephen Peterson’s childhood: a family friend and restaurateur known for his charisma and for shouting “Yeppa” when excited.

Yeppa & Co., Buckhead’s see-and-be-seen Italian restaurant, is known for its housemade pastas and potent cocktails. But one of their contornis (sides) has gained a cult following: the fagiolini. Translation? Green beans.

Brash Coffee Roasters, the homegrown coffee co. known for strong brews in petite spaces, is opening its fifth location in Atlanta—this one in the new Junction Krog District near Krog Street Market. Slated to launch in May, it will reside in a shipping container-like kiosk just off the Eastside Trail of the BeltLine. Unlike other Brash locations, this one will serve alcohol. Its specialty will be an espresso martini made with freshly roasted Brash beans, of course.

Opening February 27 in Buckhead Village, cattycornered from Fetch dog park, Yeppa & Co. is an amalgamation of the passions and experiences of the Storico team, minus Michael Patrick, who is focusing on his cookbook. The result is part-restaurant, part-coffee shop, and part-Formula One cocktail bar.

This year, the BeltLine takes center stage once again, with restaurants and bars popping up along the Eastside Trail, as well as in the West End.

Popular chefs and restaurateurs like Ford Fry, Linton Hopkins, Tal Baum, and Ron Hsu are back, bringing their creative fare to new locations, while newcomers such as Anthony Spina, Jr., hit the scene.
