Starbucks to Villanova? There’s an ad on Craigslist for a Starbucks store manager in Villanova. There’s a store in Wayne and another in Bryn Mawr but nothing in between….Is Starbucks coming to town?

EmJ’s, went there 1/6/2012 for dinner (4 people). The selections were quite good; choices change each week but you can view in advance from the website. The chef is quite adept at cooking risotto. Service was also friendly and very good. The “food auction”, so typical of Philadelphia area restaurants, was a shortcoming of our waitperson. I fail to understand why wait staff can’t seem to remember who gets what so when they bring a dish out it is alsways “who gets the xx”. This doesn’t seem to happen in other areas of the country.

The Paddock shut down without warning on Saturday night (Jan 7th). Why? It was not a happy partnership between the owners and the kitchen and servers could never seem to get a good rhythm going. Greatest bar in town, though.

Looks like a new restaurant coming to Wayne, in the old Gourmet Kitchen spot. Jules Thin Crust with locations in Bucks County is coming here in early March, per their website. Looks like they use only organic items in their pizzas, salads, and soups. If the food is good , it should do well, there is a definite gap around here that needs to be filled for healthy/organic ‘fast’ food!
