Last March, Schomer opened a second Seattle store, on Yale Avenue. The 2,000-square-foot space, financed with a $362,000 loan and $250,000 of personal funds, is an homage to espresso. A mural on the front of the bar counter illustrates the history of espresso and is painted with coffee pigments. Scattered across the rainforest-green and coffee-brown marble floor are mosaic tiles with renderings of latte art patterns. And Schomer has commissioned Kurt Wenner, an Italian painter, to create a mural entitled Vivi Vivace i Vizu e le Virtu ("Live intensely your vices and virtues"). It has worked well for Schomer.
