Mission District cafe Sisters Coffee Shop is set to open its second location in the Castro at 506 Castro Street, formerly Earthbar.

Over the weekend, workers were seen installing Sisters Coffee Shop's logo on the awning outside the storefront.

Hoodline reached out to Sisters Coffee Shop co-owners Karen and Melody Ruelas for comment but did not receive a response.

Just two months ago, Earthbar (previously Project Juice) closed its Castro location after six years in the neighborhood.

A "notice of belief of abandonment" was posted in the window dated February 1, and it indicated that Earthbar was behind on its rent.

Karen and Melody Ruelas opened Sister Coffee Shop at 920 Valencia St. (at 20th St.) in 2021.

According to Mission Local, the sisters got their start helping their family-owned food stand in the Richmond selling Mexican snacks like Mangonadas (Mexican snow cones).

The cafe offers a selection of coffee, tea, juice, boba, paninis, bagels, tamales, and their signature drink Mexican hot chocolate.

Hoodline readers will recall that prior to Earthbar, the space was occupied briefly by Artis Coffee. Artis Coffee shuttered in 2016 after only eight months in the Castro.

In recent years, the once booming Castro coffee cluster has contracted, with the closures of multiple cafes including Weaver's Coffee & Teas, Ritual Coffee, Eureka Cafe, and H Cafe.

Sister Coffee Shop adds another new business to the 500 block of Castro St. which has seen a handful of openings in recent months.

Just this weekend, pop-up store Welcome Castro softly opened at 525 Castro St., formerly the Levi's Store. Last month, Mudpuppy's Tub & Scrub expanded into the former Dogo Love at 538 Castro and Lyric has temporarily opened at the former Hortica space at 540 Castro.

Spaces formerly occupied by Harvey's (500 Castro), Puff 'n Stuff (504 Castro), Sunglass Hut (511 Castro), Hamburger Mary's (531 Castro), and Under One Roof (541 Castro) remain vacant.
