Belle Ame Café officially opened last week at 76 Cottage Street in Journal Square. Launching in February 2020, the café has been in the works for over a year. In the first Instagram post on the cafe's website, the owner writes that they decided to make the switch from 15 years in a corporate job in finance to the small business world to follow a passion for coffee.
"Belle Âme means beautiful soul in French, it’s a phrase that really connected with me," the post reads.
