See how Cafe Scala in Freehold serves a taste of Italy | Exclusive
FREEHOLD -- Picture yourself in Italy, sipping an espresso, nibbling something delicious, and enjoying that feeling that comes from being someplace beautiful. Now imagine it close to home, at the newly opened Cafe Scala. Owners John and Kim Scala will officially open their cafe Saturday, Nov. 14, after a weeklong soft opening. Cafe Scala is tucked along Bannard Street, just a few blocks from the borough's busy downtown, and sits besides the couple's other business, New York Shaving Company. The cafe, John Scala said, was a true labor of love that took several years to build in the barber shop's former storage area. A window between the two lets customers of each peek through to the other side. Dining news: Freehold Italian restaurant coming from owner of LBI's Chicken or the Egg "We wanted to create a unique experience where our customers could enjoy the cross promotion," he said. "We want everyone to be able to experience both concepts." The Scalas spent a great deal of time on the details of their cafe, from the black and white-tiled floors and sparkling chandeliers to leather tufted benches and vintage doors that open to an outdoor courtyard.
