Get your final fix of Cafe Carolina before they move

Since 1995, Cafe Carolina and Bakery has been serving up fresh baked goods, deli sandwiches, and well-dressed salads. They’re closing up this location, but reopening just steps away soon.

Village District bakery and lunch spot Cafe Carolina has been in operation since 1995, and today is its last day at its current spot.

The cafe is moving just steps away in the former so•ca space at the corner of Clark Avenue and Oberlin Road, and will become neighbors with Benelux Coffee, Tupelo Honey, and Iso Iso Ramen. This is an even bigger space for the cafe to expand its business.

An opening date for the new location has yet to be announced, but catering orders will still be accepted while the restaurant moves.

We’re sad to see Cafe Carolina close, even if it’s just for now. Here are some of our favorite offerings to try on its last day: We’re big fans of the sweet potato biscuits — think less biscuit, more cakey, but not too sweet — chocolate croissants, and classic deli-style sandwiches.
