On the Grid : The Sovereign Cafe

"Born and raised in Davenport Village, childhood friends Rosario Salvi and Gianfranco Voce founded The Sovereign in May 2012. These two Italian gentlemen are committed to serving excellent coffee (Rufino blends) in a welcoming a warm environment. In 2013 head chef Anthony Menna joined the team; the café now offers brunch, house-made snacks, and baked goods (the pistachio cookies are heaven). The Sovereign has evolved into a pillar for the community (think Cheers), acting as both a meeting place for local residents and business owners, and a destination spot for espresso aficionados." - Michael Madjus & Aisle 4
