Our Story. IN 2003, MICHAEL AND JENIPHUR PASQUARELLO OPENED CAFÉ LIFT, HOUSED IN A HISTORIC, REFURBISHED FACTORY ALONG 13TH STRE
Many years later, they are still serving brunch to the crowds, seven days a week from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. The menu evolves seasonally and all ingredients are sourced from responsible growers, and hyper-locally whenever possible. Café Lift proudly serves quality coffee drinks, expertly prepared with roasted beans created by the owner and a local roaster. The open, post-industrial space also hosts private events during the evening when the chefs of 13th Street Kitchens, its parent restaurant group, collaborate on special menus spanning various cuisines.
