Caf YOU opens in Cape Coral
The New York Times recently published an article about Australian-style cafs arriving in New York. Cape Coral now has one, too! Located in the industrial park, just south of the Cape Coral Hospital, Caf YOU is an Australian-style coffee shop that serves simple, natural food accompanied by authentic espresso coffee.
The Australian caf is a hybrid, combining a strong coffee culture and a robust food culture under one roof in a welcoming, cozy, neighborhood environment.
Caf YOU serves a range of espresso coffees made from the finest coffee beans, roasted here in Cape Coral (by Java Dora), and the baristas know their beans.
The food is all natural, simple food made with local ingredients, wherever possible, to provide customers with fresher, healthier and tasty meals.
With a well stocked pastry cabinet, Caf YOU’s food has an international flavor and offers gluten free and vegan options.
Caf YOU has a cool, trendy shabby chic decor and an upbeat fun atmosphere with a lot of colorful idioms: brekkie (breakfast), avo (avocado), and “no worries” (you’re welcome).
In Australia, cafs play a central role in people’s lifestyle. It’s where people hang out, where they meet up with friends and have business meetings; before work, after a morning swim or working out, for breakfast, for lunch, a snack or just a coffee.
The coffee shop, is at 1423 S.E. 10th St., in Cape Coral. Call 239-600-0966 or visit www.cafeyou.com. It’s open 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Saturday.
