As this report is being written, the newly-named Cafe Barista planned to hold a soft opening in the week of March 21. The Observer reported last April (page 10) that this welcome enhancement in Suffield Center would offer sandwiches and salads seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Its name now implies that a variety of coffee-based refreshments will be offered as well. During a short, pre-opening tour, building owner/proprietor Ajay Malhotra said eighteen different flavors of gelato will be offered. We await with interest. This operation is very much a local effort, as the Malhotra family lives in town, Mrs. Malhotra – Shalu – is the manager, and several of the newly-hired staff are Suffieldians.
