Client Spotlight: Mid-century Dining at Midtown Café

Our construction division recently had the honor of working with a Sonoma County institution, Chris Clemons of Pengrove’s  Super Burger, on his latest venture.  Midtown Café,  located on 4th Street in Santa Rosa (across from the original Super Burger), is an homage to decades past, when meals were a social event and food was fresh and made with pride.

Looking for a place to take a working lunch break?  Take advantage of free Wi-Fi while washing the “Gobble Pipe”, their  popular Thanksgiving-inspired sandwich of turkey, brie, caramelized onion, and  cranberry mustard aioli, down with a classic, glass-bottle Coke.  Want to watch a football game before the sports bars open?  With hours from 7 am– 3pm, enjoy their big screen TV and a “Sueyside”, the best-selling stack of 5 pancakes layered  with ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns, and fried egg.

Job foreman Greg Garrison was impressed with Chris’s passion for creating a unique dining experience.  The kitchen is open so you can see your sandwiches being made fresh to order. The walls are hung with vintage advertisements and flapper art above period-perfect wainscoting. Dining tables include classic games like dominoes and conversation starting books like “Would You Rather?”  They also stock a library of autographed books from local authors (they host book signings monthly).

A true supporter of local businesses, Midtown Café makes all sandwiches on Pengrove-baked Full Circle bread, brews locally roasted fair-trade organic coffees and teas, and has local beers on tap.  Their free range turkey and beef are roasted in house, where they also make their corned beef.  Enjoy!
