Refinery worker-turned-business owner Eleno Machuca is opening a new neighborhood coffeehouse downtown on Saturday, July 18.

Machuca will celebrate the grand opening of Birdcage Coffeehouse at noon Saturday at 224 W. Fourth St., around the corner from the newly refurbished Varden Hotel on Pacific Avenue.

A downtown resident since 2001, Machuca worked 15 years at Unocal 76, saving enough money to pursue his dream of running his own coffeehouse.

The business will be open daily from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more, call 562-628-9835.

Another coffee house? That makes Crema, Starbucks, It's a Grind and this one all within 4 blocks of each other.

Reall smart thinking there, Eleno.
