Under new ownership, Cups and Crumbs, 156 S. Broadway, Old Town Orcutt, is reopening and offering breakfast and lunch with basically the same menu as before its closing.  The popular breakfast and lunch cafe will serve sweet crepes, omelets, paninis and bagels as well as sandwiches, pastries, aromatic coffees and teas. 
            In a few months, the restaurant will also open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 4PM to 8PM for light Mediterranean style dinners, burgers, soups and salads.    
           The new owners are no novices in operating successful dining establishments on the Central Coast. Brothers Nabil and Tony Fadel and their families own Senor Taco, serving Mexican meals at its location on South Blosser in Santa Maria since 2009. In Pismo Beach, they operate two restaurants: Hapy Bistro with American-Mediterranean bistro fare and a vegan restaurant called Ynot Organic. 
          Nabil Fadel says that along with new equipment, “We have new flooring and new paint throughout.”  The back patio has been decorated in an “atmosphere perfect for parties, weddings and receptions.”  
          Fadel says the experienced staff includes many of the employees who worked at Cups and Crumbs before the restaurant closed in the fall of 2023. Fadel says the brothers were able to purchase Cups and Crumbs in a foreclosure sale.  He says the former owners, Claudia Stine and Pamela Rowan, have been "extremely helpful with the re-opening. We are getting our bakery inventory from them." 
          Elisa Fadel, Tony’s daughter, is managing the restaurant with younger sister Sally assisting.   
          The brothers also own Old Town Market on Clark Avenue. The historic store has recently been completely renovated, and a delicatessen in the market is scheduled to open this summer.                 Steve Southwick reporting
