When Tim LaPrade finally called it quits on finance and accounting, he decided to take a chance on his two passions: food and business.

The result is one of Melrose's most popular cafes, Jitters.

Jitters, located at 12 Main Street, is always evolving to bring something fresh. Their most recent try, replacing house blend iced coffee with cold brew and Nitro stored within a keg system, has been a success, says LaPrade, who runs the business with his wife Jenna.

"We're always striving to continually bring the community something new at Jitters," said Tim.

"We're using the best ingredients we can buy for all of our food, as well as our coffee beans. We're cutting most ingredients for your sandwich or salad when you order, giving the customer a chance to customize their meal, while receiving super fresh food."

Jitters also gets the enviable Melrose Patch seal of approval - try the Sergeant or a lemon poppy muffin!

Jitters is located at 12 Main Street, Oak Grove Village, Melrose. See more on their website and Facebook page.
