Entrepreneur Aaron Mott got the idea to open a unique space in Carytown on a whim–during a coffee break stroll down the so-called ‘Mile of Style.’ It was then that Mott decided to open Deco Gallery and Coffee, a space that he says will blend art and coffee under one roof.

Aaron Mott was on a coffee break in Carytown when he decided to become one of the shopping district’s newest retail tenants.

Mott plans to open Deco Gallery and Coffee, a cafe and art gallery, at 3027 W. Cary St. in September.

He found the 2,300-square-foot space while working on a video shoot for a production company at the Byrd Theatre.

“On one of the breaks from filming, I walked down Cary Street and I saw the for-lease sign,” Mott said. “It was just a coincidence. I was just on a coffee break.”
