First up, beer, wine and cocktails are on the way for the café at 415 N. Fourth Ave. Owner Sabine Blaese said today that there will definitely be German beer — “I’m from Germany, and I think it’s the best beer,” she with a hint of a giggle — maybe a Portugese pilsner and Guinness, although nothing is final yet.

There will also be a brief, yet ample, wine list, champagne, champagne cocktails, Bloody Marys and several specialty cocktails. Blaese is also crafting a new late-night menu to go with the libations.

Café Passe is also getting a remodel, and will be closing for a week beginning Monday, June 6. They’re expanding the counter and tidying up a few other things, said Blaese.

By the way, have you seen what they’ve done with the courtyard at the little café? New lighting and a bit of reorganization have made it one of the loveliest spots on the Avenue.

And don't even get me started on their onion-and-blue-cheese scones. I wish my whole life tasted like those.

More over here.
