A beloved coffee shop in downtown Pittsfield has reopened after a brief closure. Dottie’s Coffee Lounge, known for its community vibe and great coffee, is now under the management of Loic Adandedjan. He aims to honor the café's legacy while introducing new ideas. Jessica Rufo, the founder, stepped back due to personal reasons but is mentoring Adandedjan during this transition.
• Dottie’s reopened on October 1, after being closed since July 7.
• Loic Adandedjan, a former staff member, is the new operator and hopes to buy the business.
• The café will retain popular menu items and introduce new seasonal drinks.
• Adandedjan plans to enhance the café's social media presence and community events.
This change is significant for the local community, as Dottie’s has been a cultural hub since its inception in 2007. Adandedjan's fresh perspective and commitment to community engagement promise to keep Dottie’s a cherished spot for locals and visitors alike.
