A new concept blending a cafe, diner and neighborhood pub is set to open this spring in Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill neighborhood.
The Blue Warbler, owned by Fred Mogul of Junto Foods, will debut at 8001 Germantown Ave., according to its website.
Junto Foods takes its name from the word “junto,” meaning a group of people who come together to share ideas and community. The name reflects the company’s focus on collaboration, connection and bringing people together through food.
“It will be a place to get creative, unfussy food and drink in a setting where people of all ages and backgrounds can unwind, catch up with those they’re close to or haven’t seen in a while, share stories and make new friends,” the website reads.
The eatery will serve sandwiches, bowls and house-made grab-and-go options at lunch. Dinner will feature sliders, spreads, breads and shareable plates, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options available.
For those who enjoy coffee and cocktails, the menu will offer both to complement the dishes.
The name “The Blue Warbler” nods to the black-throated blue warbler, with its blue-and-black palette reflected throughout the space. The design will also feature warm wood elements, including a locally sourced Lancaster County oak bar top.
An opening date has not been announced, but the website states, “Construction is winding down, and we hope to open this spring.”
