Dear friends of our community,

First of all- Thank You.
Thank you for your patience, support and belief in our corner.
It has been a while, with some ups and downs, but we are thrilled for the future of this space. We knew this building deserved to remain standing and have local owners who understood the neighborhood.

We are pleased to announce that local established restaurateurs have purchased the building and will begin creating a restaurant space to call their own and serve the community.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the last 25 beautiful years and especially your kindness in the last 18 months.

We look forward to seeing you on the corner as customers.
Mara and David
(Former owners of the Riverview Cafe and Winebar)

Riverview Cafe updated their business hours.

Dear friends of our community
It is with much thought that we have decided to close our doors for now on July 31st so that we can take some time to reassess the future of the Riverview Cafe and Wine Bar.
This past year has brought extreme challenges and obstacles but has also has been a time for deep reflection.

We are forever grateful to the Longfellow community, our friends far and wide and our incredible staff. You have supported us in the beginning, through COVID, daily at the cafe and lately in the sun on our patio at the wine bar.
We are very grateful for all of your support.
We will keep you posted.
We love this corner and believe what ever the future holds it will be great.

Mara & David

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday in Minneapolis...

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday in Minneapolis of a yeast infection and traumatic complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.

Born and bread in Minnesota, Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not regarded as a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and served as a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 min.

If you smiled while reading this, please rise to the occasion and pass it on to someone having a crumby day and kneading a lift.

Need a break from cooking? We have you covered ! We made up 25 of our famous meatloaf meals for take and bake or freeze them for another day. Each contains :
1 - 3 pound meatloaf (fully cooked)
1 - quart silky buttery mashed potatoes
10oz blanched green beans
9oz container of our amazing South Side Sauce
$50 - first come first serve in the Café and while you are here you can grab a couple of Mara’s brioche cinnamon rolls.

Need an incentive to shovel or a reward for getting it done? We’ve got you covered-in cream cheese frosting😊

Well just because we had to😊

If you missed them yesterday come get your brioche cinnamon roll out of the oven!
Apparently they’re good😊

Warm out of the oven at 9:15am- warm brioche cinnamon rolls waiting to be slathered in cream cheese frosting!😊 mmmm- you needed a reason to get out of bed!
