Library patrons and coffee fiends will get their gourmet fix from a new vendor this fall, now that Saladelia Café took over operations in von der Heyden Pavilion Wednesday.
The previous tenant, Mad Hatter's Café and Bake Shop, told Dining Services in July that they would vacate the space within 90 days. The café officially closed shop in early August.
"It stinks, I'm really disappointed," said Jason Balius, who owns Mad Hatter's. "I loved being a presence on campus and I loved being part of Duke University."
Balius said the brisk business at the on-campus café was putting a strain on production and service at the original West Main Street bakery. He said Mad Hatter's asked Dining Services to provide a kitchen for the von der Heyden shop, but that one was never built.
"Mad Hatter's was not the first choice here," said Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst. "Mad Hatter's came in and we couldn't change the facility to include a kitchen. The reality is we had the space that we had and we couldn't expand it."
Like Mad Hatter's, Saladelia is a local café that specializes in gourmet coffee drinks, desserts and sandwiches. The main store is located on University Drive, and Saladelia also plans to open a branch in the new School of Nursing building that will open this fall.
Saladelia Manager Gracie Vo said the initial response to the café has been positive. She also hopes to hire several students as baristas.
"It's a great, easy location, so we're going to have enough staff to respond to the crowds," Vo said.
Students who worked at the on-campus Mad Hatter's learned by e-mail several weeks ago that they had lost their jobs, although the bake shop encouraged them to apply for positions at the main store off East Campus.
"It was really disappointing, because I really enjoyed serving people, and the staff was awesome too," said former employee and sophomore Brian Adams.
Although Saladelia is trying to hire student employees for its new location, Adams said he will not apply and instead hopes to work at either the original Mad Hatter's or a student-run business on the West Campus Plaza.
Both Balius and Wulforst said they hoped Mad Hatter's would soon return to campus in one form or another.
"It was definitely an amicable departure," Balius said. "If a space becomes available that meets our needs, I'd love to come back on campus."
