GRAND OPENING OF NEW CAFE TOMORROW

A new cafe will open in Windsor Terrace tomorrow (Friday, January 23rd) on the site formerly occupied by Juice Pedaler and, before that, Lonelyville Coffee.

The family-friendly café will host activities for children in its back garden. But until the weather allows that, they'll have story-times, songs, and hot chocolate indoors.

Elk's owner is Kari Browne, the owner of Lark Cafe in Ditmas Park.
