Back in April we visited Cafe Rivkah when it opened at the Pavilions at East Lake Shopping Center, serving up Middle Eastern breakfast/lunch/brunch fare featuring homemade artisanal baked goods.
Earlier this week owner Vicky Savrin and her husband Phil, who helps out on the business side, treated guests from the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, Visit Marietta and the East Cobb Business Association for a special ribbon-cutting event.
Local business associations have been making the rounds like this on a regular basis, and the Savrins’ ties to Marietta go deep.
She began selling homemade pastries and bakery at the Marietta Farmers Market, and regular customers wondered if she would ever consider a cafe.
While doughnuts, bagels and breads come in many varieties, the menu also features Mediterranean dishes such as shakshuka and a Lebanese chicken tawook wrap.
Cafe Rivkah (website) also was honored at the Taste of East Cobb festival in the best overall taste category. Vicky Savrin still features at the Marietta Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, and does catering as well.
Upon the cafe’s six-month anniversary, she noted on her Facebook page that “it has been a satisfying experience so far. No regrets. We learn new things everyday and we know that we made mistakes and they will happen (unfortunately) because there are so many parts to our efforts that has to work 100 percent to make the overall experience for the customers satisfying.”
