Davis Square business comings and goings

[ron_newman]

Benjapon's, the fast-food Thai place next to Boloco, has closed. This surprised me, since they left a stack of menus at my apartment building just a couple of weeks ago. The signs on their window say that "Joey's Thai Cafe" will open there in "late November", so maybe this will just be the same place with a new name and owner.

The Green House, a store featuring "plants, flowers, baskets, gifts, and events", will open in one of the storefronts between Alfresco and Kickass Cupcakes.

Alfresco, by the way, is owned by the same person who used to own the Savannah Grill restaurant on Elm Street. (I loved their pancakes.)

Someone else has already posted about When Pigs Fly, a bread store moving into another of those storefronts. This leaves only one empty storefront left to be filled there.

I ate at alfresco on friday night. food was very good. service was ok (the chef/owner? was very friendly from behind the grill but the waitresses didn't have quite the same gregarious attitude). our party was disappointed to find out they have no license to serve wine, but then at the end of our meal we overheard another party ask if they could bring their own bottle. The waitress said yes. So FYI, alfresco is BYOB.

Wish I had known that at the start of the meal so I could have run across the street to my apartment to get a bottle!
