Sitting, enjoying a beverage at one of our fav places… just getting into the patio season mood… the same waitress, over the years, attending to every need… what could be better!

We ask about summertime hours and she used the word “I’m” when explaining her plans to do this, that and the other…  as in, I’m the new owner. Whoa… what!

As the evening goes on, intermittently between serving other customers, she tells us about her plans for her new place… Cleopatra’s dream.

Is there a difference between Sunday morning and Monday morning? There isn’t for Cleopatra. A woman of faith, she believes she wouldn’t be in this position if she simply wanted to line her own pocket. This is about her family, her staff and her customers – to whom she feels a responsibility to do her best.

It’s not something she has to show off – like waving a flag – her faith is private. But, it’s in her genuine smile, the happiness in her eyes, the pride she feels for her kids – all of whom are involve in some way with her bistro – plus a supportive husband. The entire staff also believe in her dream: staying by her side throughout the ownership transition.

So, the uplift you feel walking into this place is like being swept over by a tsunami of love. Lord help anyone who gets in the way of her life’s mission. Her excitement is as contagious as it is real.

“And it don’t take money, don’t take fame / Don’t take no credit card to ride this train”
