Anecdote Cafe Opens in the Golden Triangle

After a series of construction delays, Anecdote on Capitol Hill has softly opened for business. The cafe, at 955 Bannock Street fills the hole left in the Capitol Hill coffee scene when Rooster and Moon shuttered its doors last September after eight years in business.

After a series of construction delays, Anecdote Cafe has softly opened for business in the Golden Triangle. The cafe fills the hole left in the neighborhood's coffee scene when Rooster & Moon shuttered last September after eight years in business.

Anecdote is currently running with a limited menu, but plans to add new baked goods as the kitchen is completed and up and running. Along with fresh pastries, look for community events and art installations in the near future.
