A new coffee shop has opened in The Majestic, bringing back a beloved local tradition. Stefari Coffee House is located in downtown Kankakee, where coffee was once a community staple. The owners, Ken Lundquist and Marci Sadler, took matters into their own hands after losing the previous coffee shop tenant. They transformed a former ice cream shop into a cozy coffee haven that aims to attract both locals and visitors.
• The coffee shop opened on February 10, operating Monday through Saturday.
• It offers a variety of beverages, pastries, and plans to introduce breakfast and lunch items soon.
• The city of Kankakee supported the venture with a $10,000 grant for equipment.
• The owners emphasize a welcoming atmosphere, encouraging customers to relax and enjoy their time.
This new establishment is more than just a place for coffee; it serves as a gathering spot that boosts local business. The return of a coffee shop in this area is expected to revitalize foot traffic and foster community connections, making it a vital part of Kankakee's downtown landscape.
