Soft openings: Himawari Café on 1st Ave.

Photos and tip by EVG reader Danimal 

Himawari Café is now in soft-open mode at 69 First Ave. between Fourth Street and Fifth Street. 

The homey, quick-serve Japanese café serves a variety of rice bowls, desserts and matcha-based beverages...
The women-owned shop relocated to this space from the Mott Street Eatery in Chinatown. 

You can follow Himawari Café on Instagram for updates. 

No. 69 was previously Fancy Juice, which earlier this year moved six blocks north on First Avenue after 10 years in the storefront.
