The newly renovated Stonebridge Café has re-opened for breakfast and lunch. The design that incorporates subtle hints of 1950s diners was the work of restaurant designer Steve Todisco and BKA Architects, an architecture and interior design firm. The general contractor was Noble Ventures based in Raynham. The official opening date for the Stonebridge Café was Tuesday, February 15.
Operated by the Beatty family, the Stonebridge Café has been serving breakfast and lunch for the past 17 years. The café sustained water damage due to a kitchen fire before the 2010 Christmas holidays. In discussing the renovation, the decision was made to alter the floor plan so that individual diners could be seated while maximizing remaining available seating and take-out orders could be picked-up without walking through the dining area.
A counter with eleven seats was added to accommodate parties of one. In addition to the dining area, four family booths were added. As means to recall the 1950s diner, diamond tufted stainless steel was used in the service area and metal edging on the tables and stools. Use of the color orange and a stone wall work together to update the style and add a level of sophistication to the café.
