Cakes & Ale Cafe To Begin Serving Wine & Small Plates
Decatur Metro | October 2, 2014 | 5:01 pm
Decatur restaurant mainstay, Cakes & Ale, is shifting the focus of its secondary neighboring space next to its flagship location from a bakery to a cafe, which also will serve wine and small plates in the evening.
Co-owner Kristin Allin explained to us this afternoon that with the majority of the Cakes & Ale bakery team moving from Decatur to the forthcoming “Bread & Butterfly” location in Inman Park, the Allins “felt this was a great opportunity to expand the wine & beverage services we can offer our guests”.
Allin continued, “The cafe will still offer pastries and coffee/espresso bar during the day but will expand at night to a wine and small plate bar. Lunch will move into the Cakes and Ale restaurant side next week to allow us to expand our lunch service.”
As for the “wine shop” that was originally rumored, Allin says while they have a retail wine license, they are selling retail wine only by request at this time.

Any relation to G. G.?
Good idea. Now I have a place in that quadrant other than Java Monkey to get a quick glass of wine.
I hope they have ice cream.
I long for a real bakery in Decatur.
