Word has it that Cafe Orange, home of very good coffee, has shut down for renos for an undetermined amount of time.
In place of the cafe, it seems that a combination sushi/coffee bar will open in Cafe Orange's spot.
Combining anything with sushi is always a bit of a gamble, especially considering that Regina's sushi scene is (quite possibly) nearing saturation. A few years ago we had only three or four places doing sushi around town. Now there are as many as ten, including the new Sake Japanese and Korean restaurant just a few blocks away from Cafe Orange's Robinson Street location off 13th Avenue.
Let's hope this business venture pays off for Cafe Orange's owners. Details on the reopening date will be posted as soon as they're known.
