MochaLisa's Caffe, a cafe and bookstore in Clifton Park, N.Y., is moving to a new space at the end of the month, News10ABC reported.
The cafe and bookstore, which sells a variety of new and used titles, will remain in the Clifton Park Center Mall but switch to a space in the mall's food court that has both indoor and outdoor entrances.
Though the store will be the same size as in the current space, co-owner Nicole Van Zandt noted that she and her team will be able to use the square footage better. They plan to have a private room for rentals as well as an events stage. Looking further ahead, they intend to build an outdoor patio and get a liquor license.
Van Zandt hopes to be open in the new space by early November and be closed for as little time as possible. The last event in the cafe's current space is scheduled for this coming Sunday, October 27.
Van Zandt owns the bookstore and cafe with her husband, Roland, and brothers Alan and Colin Hughes. The group took over the store two years ago. She told News10ABC: "We are proud of the community we've built since taking ownership of MochaLisa's in November of 2022 and will bring the same level of commitment in our new space."
