For another late report of local businesses in Highlands and Atlantic Highlands. Still waiting for the new Highlands Cafe to open where The Girl’s Cafe was the most popular spot to be both weekday and Sunday mornings. The new leasee is doing a lot of work inside and promises to have it open fairly soon, so keep looking for a great spot to have hot coffee and more in Highlands these cold mornings.
Bettter news is that Semolina, where the Flaky Tart was on First Avenue Atlantic Highlands, is so busy it’s open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. on! And it’s easy to see why it is so busy! In addition to homemade pastas, sauces, and even olive oils that come from olive farms in Italy owned by family of local residents, it’s downright friendly, whether it’s Chuck the owner or any of his staff working. Understand their fresh Italian bread is outstanding, too, and both the honey and maple syrup look interesting!
