"I came across a new three-in-one cafe and shop at 36 South St., Jamaica Plain that debuted this week in the former Monumental Cupcakes space. The operation brings together Lavender Bee Baking Co.'s allergy-accommodating, nut-free baked goods (including gluten-free and vegan options), El Colombiano's bagged and brewed coffee along with espresso drinks and specials, and Light of Day Records' curated vinyl selection; the partnership is led by Kelsey Munger, Javier Amador-Peña, and Chris Antonowich, who has appeared with Light of Day at local farmers markets since 2018. The shop will serve as a base while the businesses continue appearing at farmers markets, ran limited hours with opening specials over the weekend, and plans to launch full hours starting Tuesday, February 18." - Dana Hatic
