A Portuguese bakery and cafe is coming to East Cherry Street within the next week. Aromalicious will be open by Christmas, according to the signs in the windows of 85 E. Cherry St. Renovations had been ongoing at the site since the summer.
Readers of the blog often have expressed a desire for a local bakery downtown. The results of the Rahway Survey from several years ago indicated support for a bakery, among other things, and there was quite a discussion about a bakery after Drug Fair vacated their spac
e on St. Georges Avenue.
International Pastry, now in Clark, was located along East Cherry Street about a decade ago, and not far from this location, American Jubilee, a dessert shop/bakery operated at 88 E. Cherry (most recently an art gallery) until about five years ago.
Thanks for remembering:) Joe, International Pastry – now called That Bakery..Have a great holiday.
My only wish for Christmas is a good cup of coffee in downtown.
Mr G's? Oh, wait… Kataluma Chai? Oh, that's right.Get some good beans (or roast your own) grind 'em up and fire up Mr. Coffee for the drip. Or something like a Chemex if you're into that whole manual process. If you live in downtown, there's your good cup of coffee downtown. That's how I did it, except my good cup of coffee is now in a different downtown. Still in my own kitchen, though.
Right…
That's why there aren't places to get some good java, all the hobits never leave home.
Tail wagging the dog. We've already exhausted the reasons long ago why these places closed up. Note to future barista's: You're not going to get away with making someone wait 10 minutes on a cup of coffee while they're running to catch a train.
Seeing others post about making their own coffee brings a tear to my eye… I took a lot of flak way back when extolling the virtues of a home-made cup of joe.
Apparently, there is a Portuguese restaurant coming too, in the space which used to be the Original Nile. Sign says BBQ, Chicken and Fish. Hopefully they will have better luck than the last venue that opened up.
Here's a pic I took of the new Portuguese restauranthttp://i.imgur.com/Keroz.jpg
It´s a pastryshop, not a coffee house or a tea room. Even though I think the espresso is good.
So it's open? I figured we woulda had a "aromalicious now open" post on the site. d'oh
Is it open yet?
It's now open for business.
