Reverie Cafe closed after 21 years in the neighborhood. What a shame.
The outpouring of love from the community isn’t surprising. You expect warm and fuzzies when a local staple says farewell.
But what if you imagine the little cafe in Cole Valley wasn’t a restaurant for those 21 years, but a family saying farewell to a neighborhood? A family who has been there, every day, living amongst all the other families and couples and elderly and dogs and cats. A family milling about the neighborhood doing their thing. A family seeing changes come and go.
What will you say when you leave the neighborhood? What would people say about you?
Here is what the owner, Roger Soudah, said about his time Cole Valley:
Probably the right idea to build a story like this to look back on our family’s time in the neighborhood, wherever that may be.
