According to a recent permit filing, Longacres Cafe aims to debut in Renton at 1901 Oakesdale Avenue SW.
Longacres first phase for the property site plans to debut in 2026. The team behind Gourmondo Cafe & Catering is behind Longacres Cafe, including Alissa Leinonen, the owner and an original founding partner.
Gourmondo’s website states “Gourmondo was founded in 1996 on the belief that gourmet and high quality food should be accessible and approachable to everyone. After over 27 years of operation, from humble beginnings in Pike Place Market to a roster of award-winning chefs and expert-level staff, our conviction continues to shape everything we do.”
“We believe that fresh local food tastes best. Every day our talented team of chefs make our dressings, sauces and marinades. All pastries, desserts and cookies are prepared by our incredible bakers. And our spice rubs are custom blended by World Spice merchants in the Pike Place market where our story first began.”
“Today, Gourmondo is 100% owned by one of the founding partners, Alissa Leinonen. Duties are no longer dictated by coin tosses, but we do have fun working as a team and helping one another out.”
