Colleen’s Cookies is expanding. It will no longer be just a bakeshop, as owner Colleen Thompson will be entering the cafe scene with the opening of Caife Caife at her shop at 7337 Forsyth Blvd., in University City. In a letter sent yesterday to supporters, Thompson noted that the cafe will “have lots of seating, more sweet treats, a small savory menu and a full-service coffee bar” featuring Intelligentsia Coffee.
Caife Caife of Colleen’s Cookies will open in a few weeks. Although display counters filled with sweet treats have been removed so that the shop can be outfitted with a granite bar, new flooring and one very cool vintage lighting fixture, customers can still place orders in person, online or by calling the store.
