Ridgewood NJ, we are sad to announce the café closed up shop at the Ridgewood Public Library. It is unclear why the café closed , but some suggest ,”Because there is no parking garage at the Hudson street” others had no idea it closed is most likely the problem

While Libraries attract certain kind of value oriented visitors. Business at drive through Starbucks on the other hand is booming. Especially after kid drop-offs in the morning.

The vacant space at the Ridgewood Public Library café was filled last week, with Flo’s Nook taking up residence.

Flo’s Nook, an offshoot of Flo’s Depot (a coffee shop at the Ridgewood train station) and Flo’s Market (a store in Hawthorne), will offer a variety of food and drinks for sale.

“We offer it all,” said Barbara Agnello, one of the owners. “The beauty is that [it is] an extension of our store. I’m going to bring sandwiches and salads; I’m going to bring a hot meal each day.

“But the beauty is that anybody can go online to (our website) and order out special lunch from our store if they wanted a larger menu, and we can have it delivered here by noon if the order is made by 10 a.m.,” she said.

Flo’s Nook will also offer a place for library patrons to read the materials they borrow.
