The Corner Café, Thornbury
The Litchfields bought the building in September 2015, with a vision for a community hub where friends and families, non-profits, clubs, and business people could meet and eat. Then Randy and Jane met Adam Politeski, a gregarious local restaurant manager who had a burning desire to open a welcoming place with good food in downtown Thornbury. The Corner Café & Grill was born.
It all came together in April 2016 as The Corner Café & Grill opened with a commitment to community, affordability, accessibility, and homemade food with local ingredients.
