Dedicated to Empowering and Informing the Burlingame Community

In the second feel-good Dine B’game news of the month, Alana’s Cafe owners Teresa and Francesca have struck a deal with five long-time employees to have them take over the cafe. Following close on the heels of Gigi taking the old Sam’s Sandwich space in the bus depot, this welcome news just tugs at your heartstrings and appetite.

The DJ did a piece about the transfer being a “business continuation” that Mayor Michael Brownrigg assisted with to make the numbers all work. You can read up on that here. I’ll just post the message that Francesca and Teresa posted in the window–that says it all.

    My heart fell when I saw that sign in the window….until I put my reading glasses on. ‘Such a great story. This is a longtime “go-to” place for so many community members, and yeah, it feels like home. Congratulations are due, all around, and big thanks to Teresa and Francesca for investing so much time, energy and love into creating this treasure in the first place.
