OK Cafe Renovations Begin Soon; Re-Opening Planned for Summer

The popular Buckhead restaurant was gutted by a fire in December.

Fans of OK Cafe won’t have to wait too much longer for their beloved eatery to open its doors again.

According to WhatNowAtlanta, a permit has been filed to restore the inside of the fire-gutted building at a cost of $1.3 million. The fire was sparked in December of 2014 and has left the building empty, and restaurant closed, ever since.

WhatNowAtlanta says that the cafe plans to be ready to open again by summer.
