Just got off the phone with the Muffin Man, who confirmed The Blue Berry Cafe will be taking over the Golden Nugget space as well as moving their Bellbrook location across the street!
He couldn’t confirm timelines- but look for the opening soon on Dixie.
He also confirmed that the Bellbrook move across the street is still happening, and that time line is waiting on the completion of the construction team. The last day of business is scheduled for Friday, January 19th, 2024 at the original location and they will be open 7 days a week until then.
Update from Kelly on their Blue Berry Cafe Facebook page:
On Tuesday, December 19th – we were told that a fella from Winsupply had asked to meet me with me and Ray. With our guards up we walked over there and introduced ourselves to Moraine City Manager, Mike Davis and Bill Tolliver, VP of Real Estate Services and In House Counsel for Winsupply.
We told him we knew that they bought the Golden Nugget Building and that we thought that was amazing of them to do that for the area!
He asked if we would be interested in putting a location there – we said – oh
My goodness, that is such a nice compliment – truly – but we have all of our savings going into our new location across the street – AND we will never leave Bellbrook! But thank you!
He said, no, I don’t want you to ever leave Bellbrook either- I live in Bellbrook! We want you to add a second location! Listen – it doesn’t hurt to just look! All you have to do is bring the groceries 
We met at the Kettering restaurant the next day. Ray and I didn’t sleep all night – texting back and forth – We told Bill, our answer is yes and that we have two options, either warp speed and get this open asap or we need to wait until Summer after we open the Bellbrook location and have our routine down….Bill said, let’s do Warp Speed!
We have been treated like restaurant royalty by the Winsupply Family and while there has been tears – a lot of tapping Bill on the shoulder to make sure he is real, we are so excited for this opportunity!
While we have had multiple restaurants in the Dayton Area since 1975 – none of them have ever had the same concept. We are excited to take this journey. Our Bellbrook staff is our first priority – we will be working hard to make sure they still have a paycheck coming in the next few weeks as we move forward. So please eat pancakes! 
It’s been a busy 2 weeks since Bill Tolliver walked into our cafe! And we are so grateful!
Cheers to our 20th Year in Business – thank you in advance for your continued support and well wishes!
We love you all so much!
Here we GROW!
Kelley, Ray, Tony, and our Blue Berry Cafe Family!
