Vestavia’s Iz Café will open a second location in the former Joe Muggs space in English Village later this summer.
The restaurant has been in Vestavia Hills for 13 years and is now bringing its soups, salads, sandwiches, baked goods and more to Mountain Brook. Owner and president Kay Bruno Reed said she hopes to open the restaurant in late July or early August.
Iz will served breakfast, lunch and dinner. The breakfast menu features bacon, egg and cheese croissants; breakfast burritos; coffee drinks; muffins; and scones. At lunch and dinner, a pastry case will boast treats like chocolate roulade, banana cake, almond cake, key lime pie and lemon pie.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, customers can order and pick up hot family meals at dinnertime. A menu online lists seasonal meals available each day. Any day of the week prepared meals are available for pickup out of a refrigerated case.
Reed said she fell in love with the English Village location, which will offer outdoor seating.
“This is a great little community we can become a part of,” said. “We want to know people by name and find out what they want on the menu for take-home dinners. We operate more like a little family.”
Café Iz will be located at 2037 Cahaba Road. For more visit everythingiz.com.
