New Olive & Wooster mixed-use development in New Haven welcomes coffee shop tenant

One of New Haven’s newest mixed-use developments welcomed its latest retail tenant this week.

City officials and business community leaders joined small business owners Elien and Emerald Olmos at their ERO Cafe, located in the Olive & Wooster Apartments building in the Wooster Square neighborhood.
 
ERO Café is a tea and coffee shop featuring Turkish teas and coffee beans sourced from a local roaster.  

It’s located in the ground-floor retail space of the newly built Olive & Wooster development, a 299-unit apartment community at 44 Olive St.

Olive & Wooster joins other recently completed housing developments in the area, including The Whit and 98 Olive Street, which collectively have added more than 550 housing units to New Haven’s growing Wooster Square neighborhood. 

These new developments, along with others in the pipeline, are part of a wave of new developments in this historic neighborhood, immediately adjacent to downtown.

The idea for the café originated from a college assignment that Emerald received while she was at Southern Connecticut State University. She shared her idea with her husband, Elien, and together they researched and visited coffee shops all over the world to develop the concept for ERO Café in New Haven. 

It sits adjacent to the original Sally’s Apizza in Wooster Square.
