Hi Novel Residents!

We are beyond excited to join your home here at Novel South Capitol. We can’t wait to meet you all and serve your beautiful community. We are honored and ecstatic to grow into this community space and provide you all with a welcoming home-not so far away-from home. We wanted you all to be the first to know of our opening ahead of our announcement to the general public. As of today, our anticipated opening for our cafe is Monday April 17th, we will offer breakfast, coffee and a co-working space for you all from 7am – 4pm. To give our team time to work out final details we are anticipating rolling out our dinner service Saturday April 22nd. Construction and Design will start in the upcoming week so the café space will be closed off to the lobby until we are ready to reveal our new look.
