Popular eatery Tempe Public Market Cafe will temporarily close Monday May 6th to make some changes. The cafe will become a full service cafe and preparations are being made.
“We are committed to keeping in line with the look and feel of this close-knit area,” said Dave Chamberlin, president of Tempe Public Market Café. “When you are relaxing on our patio or if you’re getting a bite with friends and family, we want you to feel like you are at your second home.”
When the restaurant re-opens in early June customers will notice more tables, high top tables on the patio and plans for a projector. Inside they will have new menu options along with full-service brunch and dinner. Other changes include community tables replacing booths, a new lounge area and an expanded retail area. The retail area will allow for more merchandise, sauces and products from local vendors.
A new pastry case will entice customers with sweet treats and new tiles and murals will add color to the decor.
Local artist Gennaro Garcia has been commissioned for the murals both inside and out. Garcia is known for vibrant murals around Phoenix and is popular with other restaurants.
“The work we are doing at the restaurant is all with the community in mind,” said Chamberlin.
Valued employees will be offered jobs at the company’s headquarters and at its sister restaurant Ghost Ranch during the closure.
Tempe Public Market Cafe is at 8749 S. Rural Rd. Tempe 85284. For more information visit their website.
