Caffe! Caffe!

In the Spring of 1992, we wanted to open a friendly neighborhood cafe serving a quick, but delicious lunch...the type of lunch we grew up eating! Gourmet coffee businesses were becoming popular at that time, and we decided to expand our dream a bit further to include coffee and pastries. We wanted our patrons to experience "one of a kind" desserts, so we tapped into family recipes and put our own personal twist on them. But more than food and coffee, we wanted our cafe to be a gathering place; a place for people to make it their own, whether for business, pleasure, quiet time, meetings, after-dinner coffee & dessert... We also wanted it to be an upscale, but casual atmosphere with a friendly staff. We thought, " We want it to be everyone's cafe: kid-friendly, students, professionals, lunch with friends, etc." We needed a name that would explain the feel of the cafe just by saying the name.
