Hyattsville’s new Vigilante Coffee Company opened earlier this week with limited hours, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., through July 18 as part of a soft opening with doors to officially open on Saturday, July 19.

The Hyattsville Wire caught up with Christopher Vigilante, owner and founder of the shop, who was enthusiastic about opening up a new location in Hyattsville.

The new coffee shop is located at 4317 Gallatin St. downtown next to the post office in the renovated gray brick building on the side facing the alley. There isn’t an exterior sign yet, but we imagine that will be coming soon.

Vigilante himself has an interesting background in coffee tracing all the way back to Hawaii where he lived and worked. You can read all about it here.

The new Hyattsville location is both a roastery and café.
