Edward and Renata Greenwald are behind The Launch Room Cafe, in Bogota.
After working for years in restaurants, supermarkets, catering companies and corporate stores, the couple finally decided to open a place of their own, the owners tell Daily Voice.
Edward came up with the name, because the store when he first saw it reminded him of a lunch room.
"But we wanted put a retro spin on it," Renata explained, "so he came up with the 'Launch Room.'"
The Greenwalds held a soft opening and only take cash for now, but that is expected to change at the end of the month.
The Greenwalds' eatery boasts a variety of sandwiches, lunch specials, and 15-inch crepes.
"We're meeting local people, neighbors, the mayor and police officers have come by," the Greenwalds said. "It's been a quite introductory"
The Launch Room Cafe, 64 West Main St., Bogota.
