Sally Kane is one busy restauranteur these days.
There's her popular buzz cafe The Coronet downtown, which she opened in the Coronado Hotel Apartments off North Fourth Avenue in early 2014. In late 2015, she joined hands with Mercado San Agustin owners Adam Weinstein and Jerry Dixon to run Agustin Kitchen.
And last weekend, the trio swung open the doors to aka Deli & Bakeshop, a grab-and-go soup, sandwich and salad restaurant next door to Agustin Kitchen at 100 S. Avenida Del Convento Suite 126.
The shop, open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, also includes drool-worthy baked goods coming from a trio of creative folks in the kitchen who are producing cookies, pastries, muffins, pies and cakes.
Kane, a self-professed foodie devotee, incubated a bakery program at Coronet that she brought with her to Agustin Kitchen. Developing a full concept around the baking was "kind of a bridge in a way" that tied together the two other restaurants, she said.
Everything at aka except the bread — which comes from Barrio Bread — is made in house, including the charcuterie, Kane said. Pastries start at $1, soup is $5 and sandwiches run $9 to $10. Salads are sold by the pound and produce is locally sourced through Pivot Produce, which works with area farmers.
