Black Eye Coffee CapHill, coffee shop-bar-restaurant hybrid and 303 favorite, has shuffled its kitchen leadership. Alex Figura, previous executive chef of shuttered Lower48 Kitchen, will be leaving his current culinary leader post at Black Eye to open a pasta restaurant with Spencer White in Five Points.

Replacing Figura is Denver newcomer William Tuggle, who previously served a stint as executive chef of Humboldt Farm. Fish. Wine. Black Eye co-owner Steven Waters met Tuggle before he moved to Denver and have collaborated on Black Eye pop-up dinners.

Tuggle will launch a new summer menu in June with intentions of unifying the cocktail, coffee, pastry and food programs.
