Black Coffee and Waffle Bar is expanding to St. Paul.

The Minneapolis Como neighborhood coffee shop and waffle bar, which renamed itself from the unfortunately named Muddsuckers in 2014, has signed a lease for the space on Cretin and Marshall avenues in St. Paul that formerly housed Pincurl salon.

Heirloom, a new restaurant by former W.A. Frost chef Wyatt Evans, is also a tenant in the building.

The new space will have a bigger kitchen than the current Black space, said owner Brad Cimaglio, which will help the crew put out waffles at a more steady pace than they can in the current location.

The restaurant, which serves waffles with toppings like strawberry cheesecake, apple strudel and ham and swiss, also serves locally roasted Dogwood Coffee.

Cimaglio said he’s hoping the spot, which will seat 60 to 65 patrons, will open sometime in March.
