New Vegan Café Opening In Ardmore Saturday

ARDMORE, PA — A new plant-based café is opening this weekend in Ardmore, expanding the Main Line's ever-growing and ever-changing dining scene.

Blue Pearl Cafe will have a grand opening at 8 a.m. Saturday at 44 Rittenhouse Place.

The café will feature a menu boasting all plant-based vegan offerings.

Menu items include breakfast and lunch dishes, coffee, and tea, organic smoothies, cold pressed juices, wellness shots, organic noodles, gluten free grain bowls, salads and more. Signature dishes include spaghetti and beetballs, pad thai, walnut taco salad, acai bowl, dark blue overnight oats and other tasty dishes.

During the grand opening weekend, the café will offer free juice samples outside in front of the store.

The café will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. seven days a week.

Blue Pearl Cafe will launch with take-out and pick-up, delivery, limited outside seating, juice subscriptions and Immunity Boxes.

This new eatery is the brainchild of FJ Leto, founder of local cold pressed juice company Juice Dr.

The café's grand opening was supported through a grant and PR assistance from Ardmore Initiative to support new businesses opening in downtown Ardmore.

Blue Pearl Cafe will be operating out of a 750 square foot former eye glass store. Inside, customers will find three tables with extensive coffee bar seating along the main wall. Most indoor dining, however, is on hold and the café has a limited number of people inside to ensure social distancing. Masks are required for ordering and pick-up, unless a customer is seated at one of the two café tables on the sidewalk.
