MISSION HILLS— A friend of Eater sent us a photo of a new cafe and home store that just opened at 1619 W Lewis Street. Kettle and Stone has a custom-built coffee bar inside it that hasn't launched service yet, but when it does, the baristas will be making coffee drinks using beans from Bird Rock Coffee Roasters.
