Developers say the 49-seat restaurant will be a “morning business and a night business.”
In the vacant lots of Washington Street in Forest Hills there’s typically vehicle traffic and little else. Though, alongside the addition of the Harvest Co-Op, a new café will soon fill out the space. Kevin Walker, president of WCI Corp., presented plans to build a 49-seat café at 3840 Washington St., which is now a lot south of the Forest Hills T station, at a meeting of the Jamaica Plain Business and Professional Association Wednesday afternoon. BAPA member Jeffrey Ferris, owner of Ferris Wheels bike shop, said the area is a particularly difficult place to open a restaurant. “You don’t have the benefit of being near a residential neighborhood,” he said.

This is great for the neighborhood and I look forward to more businesses and residential development in the immediate Forest Hills Station area. The cafe is a little out of the way from the others side of the tracks by way of Ukraine Way but maybe this will encourage construction of a pedestrian/bike bridge from the end of Walk Hill St. to Washington St. I understand that Mr. Ferris really likes … more ›
