A new coffee bar, Dripp, opens in Chino Hills tomorrow.

It’s not just any coffee bar, however.

They’ve got something special.

Several somethings, in fact.

It all starts with individually ground and brewed drip coffees and espressos.

They also prepare Turkish coffees.

If tea is your preference, they carry only Harney & Sons Fine Teas…everything from English Breakfast to Hot Cinnamon Sunset.

In a story on this morning’s business page, writer Andrew Edwards (who I hear has a “Habit” habit himself) wrote about the upcoming opening of The Habit Burger Grill in the Chino Hills Marketplace.

This will be their first restaurant in the Inland Empire, although in 2008 they opened a location in La Verne.

They serve sandwiches and salads as well as burgers.

In less happy news, City Broiler announced a short while ago on Twitter and their Facebook page that they were shutting down as of today.

I never had a chance to visit City Broiler. I only knew of them through their involvement in the Taste of Chino Valley and Chino Valley Restaurant Week events.

The restaurant had been open just shy of four years. Online reviews were mostly positive.
