Jimmy is also open to talking with artists who would like to display their work, need a venue for a show, would like to hold classes and more.  If you have an interesting idea and need an inspiring place to make it happen, come talk to us!

The cafe will also be holding its annual Sidewalk Sale this Monday, Memorial Day.  We hope to see you there.  Information below.

Jimmy's Café, 2028 Chestnut Blvd, Cuyahoga Falls, will be celebrating the completion of its new addition and renovation from 9 am - 5 pm, Monday, May 31 (Memorial Day) with a sidewalk sale and raffle. Everything from art to house wares will be for sale. The festivities will also include music and dollar hot dogs. Local author Bob Adamov recently featured Jimmy's Cafe in his newest book, Pierce the Veil. Adamov will be on hand to sign copies from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Donations for the sidewalk sale are welcome. For more information, call 330-923-3660. 

"We are very excited about the ability to provide an even better experience for our customers," says owner and creator of the café, Jimmy Van Hoose. The eclectic coffeehouse has more than doubled its size and will soon be adding a kitchen to supplement the existing drinks with a limited food menu. "Bringing this all together was truly a community effort. It could not have happened without the tremendous support of so many customers and friends." 

"Café Owner" is only the most recent hat worn by the versatile Van Hoose. A former high school teacher, professional masseur, and world traveler, he also knows a little something about the restaurant business. His experience as the onetime owner of New Orleans restaurant Artistes is reflected in the recipes he brought back to share with his current customers. 

The added space has greatly increased the indoor dining area and houses studios for artists to hold classes and sell and display their work. Visitors will be able to observe as resident artist Alex Natko creates mixed media artwork drawn largely from recycled materials, and Becky Karadin shares her talent for the fiber arts. A stage has been added to host live entertainment of all kinds. The drinks selection will continue to feature specialty flavored coffees, teas and French and Italian sodas. The new kitchen will round out the menu with a selection of sandwiches, pastas, salads, Cajun dishes and desserts. 

Since its appearance two years ago, the neighborhood café and its creator have been the recipients of much local attention. Colorful exterior renovations, including a patio addition and blooming plants, earned Jimmy's Café the 2002 Beautification Award Grand Prize from the City of Cuyahoga Falls. The cafe continues to beautify the neighborhood and be a gathering place for a wide variety of creative types to share their work, ideas and a cup of joe.
