A married couple is working to open Storied Coffee, a boutique coffee bar offering espresso drinks, hot and cold coffee, tea, kombucha and bubble tea, at 109 Mohawk Ave. in Scotia, former home of a bakery.

The couple, Christine and Rich Sarnacki, cite Stacks Espresso Bar in Albany and Superior Merchandise in Troy as inspirations for Storied Coffee, saying the shops "hold coffee to a higher standard."
