Contrary to the an old saying, there's proof you can go home again.  

Sisters with deep roots in Mount Dora, Mitzy and Vivian Crunk, will be opening Coffee Branch Cafe on Fifth Avenue next to Atkins Realty in November.

The new coffee spot will feature hot and cold specialty coffee drinks, teas, and related gifts.  The warm decor will feature limited seating and plenty of counter space for walk-up orders.  There will also be sidewalk tables on Fifth Avenue.  

This is not the first Crunk family business in Mount Dora.  Their father owned Leggitt Rexall Drug Store in the Golden Triangle Shopping Center for many years while the family lived on Alexander Street.

 The sisters attended Roseborough Elementary and Mount Dora Middle School before graduating from Mount Dora High.   In the years following graduation,  both women were office managers in the medical and dental fields before deciding to follow in their father's footsteps and open a small business.

The name of the business was taken from the street where their father resided in Tennessee.

After much anticipation and a overcoming a little hurdle with antiquated pipes, downtown Mount Dora's newest restaurant, Let's Do Lunch, opened today.  

 The house specialty of this casual cafe is their traditional New England lobster roll, served on a grilled hot dog bun, including a choice of side for $9.95.  The sandwich boasts a quarter pound of fresh 100% lobster meat with no fillers, said  owner Tim Lyons.   

Lyons, along with his wife Gail, had a successful lunch restaurant in North Conway, New Hampshire for twenty-five years and the new venture will be modeled after that proven success.

 Daily menu selections will include a choice of six traditional sandwiches like BLTs, turkey, ham and egg salad for $5.95, as well as three daily soup offerings.  The daily special is a cup of soup, half sandwich and a choice of side salad for $6.95.   Whole sandwiches with a choice of side are $5.95.   Many beverages including coffee are $1.35.

Let's Do Lunch will be open from 10:30 am-3:30 pm at 426 N. Donnelly Street next to Gold In Art.
