Market Place
Alie's Corner cafe now open for dinner, too
Employers coming to town for EDD job fair
By Renee Canada
After three years of featuring only breakfast and lunch items on their menu, Alie's Corner Café, at 360 E. Campbell Ave., started serving dinner for the first time last week. The café has expanded its hours for evening munching on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 5:30 to 9 p.m.
Partner Eileen Tam said her business plan had never included dinner, which was why she never thought to cash in on the night market before. So why the change now? Tam explained that it was due to customers' request.
"We think we now see a demand for dinner here," she said.
Fans of Alie's home-style cooking can now enjoy steaks and fresh fish on the dinner menu. For more information, call 408.871.0533.
