Morning Bloom a new breakfast restaurant in the former Sweet Berry location to open

JANESVILLE— A new brunch restaurant, Morning Bloom, is preparing to open in the former Pearl of the Orient and Sweet Berry location, bringing another breakfast and brunch option to the area after Sweet Berry closed just three months after opening. The Alcohol licensing committee Tuesday morning, the committee unanimously recommended a positive approval to the city council for the restaurant's license. Bardil Ahmedi, the new restaurant owner, is opening a similar restaurant that will operate every day from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. The building at 2701 Milton Ave. housed Pearl of the Orient from late 2022 until early 2024. Rio Brazilian Steakhouse then planned to move into space, but backed out last year. Former owner Tommy Nguyen’s mother Xinh Le owned Sweet Berry. His mom has been the landlord for a building that houses Riverside Family restaurant in Rockford, Ill.

The Most Romantic Steakhouse In Wisconsin Is Tucked Away Where You’d Least Expect

A dining room that started life as an 1861 hotel now serves A5 Miyazaki Wagyu and blue cheese-crusted filets. That combo alone made me sit up and start checking my calendar. The Greek Revival building was once the largest public building in its tiny town. A still-active railway line runs right across the street, which feels almost too charming to be real on a date night.
