Lori Cohen-Sanford takes a look at the Gré Coffeehouse & Art Gallery in downtown Palm Springs in a recent Palm Springs Life Magazine article. Co-owners Kelly Segre and Jaime Watson set out to recreate the Ventura coffeehouse/art house, sans internet or cellphones, that they used to frequent in the 90’s.
The gallery will rotate featured local artists monthly, as well as hosting poetry readings, acoustic music, and open mic nights. The cozy confines seat 25 indoors with shared outdoor seating in the courtyard of the Henry Frank Arcade Building, across the street from the Hyatt Palm Springs. There’s a vinyl record collection that can be played on the store’s turntable. The store also features Klatch Coffee from Rancho Cucamonga. Their beans have taken top honors at “Best in Brew” contests in L.A., New York, and Orlando, Florida, and the company was awarded “Best Espresso in the World” at the World Barista Championships in Tokyo several years ago.
