Inverclyde Now Logo NEW Venture Launched At Much-Loved Greenock Cafe Premises

29 October, 2020 | Business, Local

AN iconic Greenock café is back in business, under new ownership.

Kilmacolm entrepreneur Stephen O’Donnell has opened Orangefield Café and Bakery in the former
Dino’s premises.

The much-loved Holmscroft Street café dates back to the 1920s, with long-time operator Dino Pieri retiring in 2013.

A trained baker by trade, Stephen used to operate The Village Bakery in Kilmacolm, and will be in charge of the day-to-day running of the business.

Stephen has introduced his bakery menu and also serves breakfasts, paninis, soup, tea, coffee and cold drinks as well as providing traditional Italian ice cream.

He said: “We are delighted to finally open the bakery after spending the past few months looking for the right site to launch our menu.

“For it to be in the famous Orangefield Café is fantastic, and everything just felt right about the location and the opportunity with great footfall from locals, trades and schoolchildren.

“It’s an exciting fresh start for our family, and we would like to invite returning customers as well as welcome those new to come and savour our menu.

“We’d like to thank [commercial property agents] Bowman Rebecchi for their support with our search and to Dino for his help in getting the bakery ready to open.”

Bowman Rebecchi acted as agents on behalf of the owners. Marco Rebecchi, director, said: “We are delighted to have been able to support Stephen with his search over the past few months and wish him and his family every success.

“This was an excellent example of a site becoming available and Bowman Rebecchi knowing of someone searching for this type of use, so we managed to turn this around quickly for both parties.

“It is great to see this historic site coming back into use. We continue to enjoy a high level of interest in commercial lettings and sales across Inverclyde.”
