Saturday is opening day for the Twisted Tree Cafe, the Mall at Lincoln Station’s newest eatery.
Lincoln residents C.J. and Christine Doherty began working on renovations and permitting in the late spring, about three months after the Trail’s End Cafe closed. They will be open on weekends from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays.
The menu will feature gourmet coffees and teas, toast and pastries, sandwiches, salads, bento boxes, and more. Among the new features: cooking facilities that will allow the restaurant to serve foods including eggs, breakfast burritos and grilled sandwiches; and online ordering for commuters and others. The furnishings include a countertop for those who want to work, as well as tables and chairs.
The Dohertys, who hope the Twisted Tree will serve as a neighborly gathering place, may apply for a liquor license in the future. “We’re just excited to open the doors and start serving good coffee and food,” Christine Doherty said.
