Café at Pharr Plans 6th Location for Vinings Jubilee

Owner Johnny Liu said his sixth restaurant should open in late-May.

Café at Pharr plans to open its sixth location in Vinings Jubilee in May and owner Johnny Liu said he can’t wait to offer the service that his customers have come to expect from his other locations “We’re voted one of the best working lunches in Atlanta,” he said. “We’re really fast, healthy, fresh. You definitely don't feel like the 2 o’clock ‘I need to go home and take a nap’ feeling. You definitely feel energetic. It’s just a great working lunch.” Liu said he’s wanted to open a location in Vinings Jubilee for the past decade, but the stars had never aligned until earlier this year. “When the opportunity finally came it was actually bad timing,” he said. “We’d just opened our restaurant and bar like two months ago. So it was really bad …

Fresh batch of restaurants comes to Smyrna-Vinings

Two restaurants bring new locations to the intersection of Akers Mill Road and Cobb Parkway while two other eateries are on track for openings in 2012.

Depressed economy or not, people have to eat. And Smyrna-Vinings Patch is no exception to this rule as a new crop of restaurants takes root in the area including a bagel shop, two new cafes and a Caribbean grill. The Akers Mill area readies itself for three new restaurants in 2012. The Brooklyn Water Bagel Company is set to bring its franchise to the area later this spring. The Boca Raton-based casual eatery will open in the former Soup Garden location at 2945 Cobb Parkway. Brooklyn Water Bagel Company operates under the philosophy that the most important ingredient needed to make bagels is water. That’s why the company uses a 14-step process to “Brooklynize” the water for that fresh from the borough taste. The bagel shop isn’t the only …
