There is a little something new at Fresh Pot Café: here just seven weeks, but already sporting a full head of hair.
Recently, Gaby Garrido, who co-owns the café with her mother and father, gave birth to a baby girl
named Molly. Knowing the closeness of their family, I was not surprised to see Gaby with the infant
in her arms during my last trip to the restaurant.
Specializing in authentic Ecuadorian and American fusion fare, Fresh Pot Café is a true family eatery in every sense.
Gaby bounced the baby around the dining area. Her parents prepped food in the kitchen. There
was a sign taped to the front door, I noticed, that read, “Our mother/grandmother is turning 75! We are planning on family vacation and will be closed from May 28 to June 4.”
“It’s the first family trip back to Ecuador in 15 years,” Gaby told me. When the café reopens on Sunday, June 5, it will introduce several new recipes: Two seasonal selections and one permanent addition.
