Brew Bird Creative Cafe, which opened its first location adjacent to Vic\u2019s Ice Cream in Land Park when it reopened earlier this year after renovations, is planning to open a second location in Granite Bay<\/a>, as reported by Sacramento Business Journal.<\/p>\n

The new cafe will occupy the space previously held by a Peet\u2019s Coffee at 5550 Douglas Blvd, Suite D-110. That coffee shop closed in January.<\/p>\n

Brew Bird serves Camellia coffee and pastries as well as wine, but also offers unfinished pottery that customers can paint. The cafe-studio then sends the painted pottery off to a kiln, and customers can pick up the finished piece about two weeks later.<\/p>\n

The reopening of Vic\u2019s was one of the most intensely followed developments in Sacramento\u2019s food scene since owner Craig Rutledge died in March 2024.<\/p>\n

A year ago, a group including Carlo Grifone \u2014 owner of local restaurant chain Giovanni\u2019s Old World New York Pizzeria \u2014 and his daughter, Samantha, bought the property and reopened it after extensive renovations<\/a>. She is the CEO of Brew Bird.<\/p>\n

According to the Sacramento Business Journal, Grifone plans to open more locations in California, but has not yet stated where.<\/p>\n
