Cafe Reynard Opens Inside Idle Hands Craft Ales in Malden

A brand new cafe has opened just north of Boston, and it resides inside a brewery.

According to an article from Boston Magazine, Cafe Reynard is now open in Malden, moving into the Idle Hands Craft Ales space on Commercial Street. The article mentions that the new spot is, as co-owner, founder, and roaster Eddy Martinez calls it, a "trans-run, worker-owned queer cafe and coffee roaster" that in addition to coffee, also offers doughnuts at least twice a week on most weeks from Kate Holowchik of Lionheart Confections. The cafe currently operates within the brewery Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM and on Sundays from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM.

The address for Cafe Reynard (and Idle Hands) is 89 Commercial Street, Malden, MA, 02148. The website for Cafe Reynard is at https://ift.tt/kbxgU0z while the website for Idle Hands is at https://ift.tt/5lKUEQF
