There is a new café in Sandy Hill, beside the Sandy Hill Lounge and Grill. Roast Cafe is now open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on weekends from about 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., though owner Antonio Dimillo says those hours could change with demand. In addition to a long list of hot beverages, the menu includes breakfast and lunch fare, and sweet treats that will vary. Antonio says he has appreciated the advice from other local business owners, including the pub next door and Safi’s, and is eager to grow the business by listening to customers and being involved in the community.
