In 2001, Tim Mulaney saw a need for a breakfast and lunch restaurant so he started Downtown Cafe. After renovations he had $35 left to put in the till. His belief that his customers wanted a fresh cooked meal, made from scratch from seasonal ingredients paid off. Pancakes, corned beef and quiches are all made on the premises. Orange juice is freshly squeezed. Soup, salads and a variety of sandwiches are the mainstay of the menu. Non-alcoholic beverages are also served. The restaurant opens 7 days a week from 7 am to after lunch. There is a take-out option.
