Further details from Joe Coffee owner Jonathan Rubinstein and a full press release from Columbia spokesperson Dan Held after the jump.

Jonathan Rubinstein mentioned to us that he intends for the store to open late January. Rubinstein also added that in addition to Joe’s usual coffee menu, the new branch will also provide light breakfast and lunch options. Rubinstein said that Joe Coffee, in collaboration with Cafe Iris in Brooklyn Heights, will offer 5-7 different sandwich options.
