Shortly after the new year, Orange Belt Cafe teased the community with a coming soon post. After a month’s wait, the family-owned cafe is officially open.

“Come see us for breakfast or lunch!,” says an Instagram post

The cafe is an option for hungry customers waiting for their car repairs at Bob Lee’s Tire Company. On the menu is fresh coffee, an assortment of pastries, sandwiches, and salads. And since it’s Mardi Gras season, Orange Belt is celebrating with New Orleans staples King cake and muffuletta sandwiches. The menu starts at $1.50 for a croissant to $10 for sandwiches.

Orange Belt Cafe is inside the tire shop at 1631 4th St. N and open Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m.
