Back in the springtime, we told you about plans to convert the former Baja Room at 15th & South into a new neighborhood cafe. And the other day, Little Spoon Cafe opened their doors for the first time. We stopped by a day or two after they opened, and discovered a wonderful new addition to the South Street West corridor. Inside and out, this place is on point.
The exterior has been totally redone, with a spoon theme dominating the storefront (makes sense). Inside, mismatched chairs are complemented by little terrariums (terraria?) on every table. The menu is a nice mix of breakfast and lunch foods and they're making a bunch of pastries in-house. From what we understand it was a gangbusters first weekend, and we imagine that as more people discover the place it will get even busier. We had lunch there late last week and highly recommend the banh mi. If that's not your thing, we suspect you'll find something on the menu that's to your liking.
Across the street meanwhile, we spotted a zoning notice. This storefront, next door to Sawatdee, has been empty for quite some time. Has anyone heard about what might be coming into this space?
