Reader TZSB tells me that Noe’s Cafe, located at 129 East Anapamu Street, across from the Sunken Garden, has opened. This space is the former home of Cafe La Fonda, The Courthouse Tavern, The Little Door, Piano Riviera Lounge, The French Table, and Elements Restaurant & Bar. Starting mid-December they’ll offer a happy hour special from 3 to 6 or 7 p.m. with a limited menu. They have a full bar! Noe’s Café focuses on breakfast and lunch only, operating in a casual, diner-style format with counter service and straightforward classics. In the evenings, the space may occasionally be used for private events or wedding receptions, leveraging the catering side of the family business and the courthouse’s constant stream of ceremonies just across the street. Seating capacity is 125. Hours are 7 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Call (805) 335-8364.
