Not only does this month mark the
Aronoff Center for the Arts’ 20th anniversary, a new restaurant will also be opening in the former Busken Bakery space in the building. V’s Encore Cafe, a venture from
Vonderhaar's Catering, plans to open by Oct. 19.
The menu will include 10 standard sandwiches, four soups, a number of fresh salads, granola bars and pastries. Everything will be handmade, and the offerings will feature items you can get just anywhere.
V’s will focus on locally made products, with the majority of the products coming from Ohio, like Amish-made cheese.
All carryout items such as napkins, forks and containers will be eco-friendly.
Vonderhaar's and the Aronoff Center have a long-standing relationship, as Vonderhaar's has catered a number of events there. Construction is already underway in the space, creating a more contemporary feel with slate tile and stainless steel.
The cafe will serve breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday.
