ESPRESSO

Hello Click On readers,

SPRING ARBOR, MI – Spring Arbor has lost a long-time favorite restaurant, but a new eatery will soon fill the space. The Spring Arbor Café, 7975 Spring Arbor Road, closed at the end of 2021, after serving the community for 16 years. Vito’s Espresso opened first on Wildwood Avenue in Blackman Township before moving to 300 W. Washington Ave. in downtown Jackson. The Spring Arbor Café is the perfect place, he said. More information about Vito’s Espresso can be found on its Facebook page and website.
