Spigolo Coffee is boarded up, with bricks still crumbling, after a car barreled through the building on Thursday.

The owners woke to the news that a driver crashed through their building overnight, just weeks before they were set to open!

Police haven’t released the driver’s name, but her blue Hyundai can be seen halfway into the building.

The front door and sign are still intact, but much of the custom-built work inside is destroyed. With no timeline on when they will open and no understanding of how this happened, the owners are determined to open for business as soon as possible.
