Burdened with the news that the beloved home of Annie's Cafe was set for demolition in May of this year, owners Peggy Anderson and Diane Williams set about relocating their 1950s-inspired gem; vintage lunchbox by vintage lunchbox.
Now settled into a long-time favorite nook at 3100 East Colfax Avenue — the original Goodfriends — whose lease co-owners Lee Goodfriend and David Racine signed over on May 15 — business has taken off once again. With the floor space doubled, the addition of a bar and regular happy hour, provisions for large functions, and, of course, a full inventory of old-time candy, Anderson and Williams say that they are settling into the new place with ease. read more
. . ."We went to the new Annie’s Café on E. Colfax and it was great fun. Breakfast, lunch and dinner-and snacks and whatever. And the food is really good and service fun and excellent too. We had pancakes –yum---and then the egg salad bacon sandwich, the salmon spinach salad, the fried shrimp and sweet potato fries. And there was no room left for milkshakes, sodas, pies, and more. So we will make another trip soon. It is a great addition to the neighborhood."
