New Owners Plan to Expand Menu at Appleton Bakery Cafe

's newest owners, Kelly Shea and Lucia Viveiros, are looking to revamp the small restaurant into a neighborhood hot spot.

Kathy Emrich of the Ellis Neighborhood Association said she met with the pair to hear their plans for the corner shop, known for its apple-themed sandwiches. According to Emrich, the team plans to expand the menu to include more fresh fare, along with healthy alternatives.

In the future, a late night menu and takeout options may also be introduced, she said. The Appleton Street restaurant will remain an 18-seat establishment.

At the neighborhood association's meeting on Wednesday, Emrich recommended that the board right a letter of recommendation for the shop's new owners.
