The Ridgeback Cafe to open on 65th

The owner of Hangar Cafe in Georgetown is bringing his experience to northwest Seattle.

Owner Justin Taft plans to open The Ridgeback Cafe in the old Renick Printing space at 500 N.W. 65th St, next door to Slave to the Needle. Taft tells us that the new cafe will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu will include crepes, waffles sandwiches, soups, salads, beer, wine, desserts and Stumptown Coffee. It will be a family-friendly cafe with mid-century style. “I plan on opening in June sometime, don’t know when yet,” Taft says, “I can’t wait to be a part of Ballard!!”
