About Cafe Bella:
The interior of the restaurant is very clean, with lots of light from the large windows that face east. Dabbas calls the decor “country rustic,” with a yellowish paint scheme he dubs “Butter and Eggs.” He even attempted to capture the city’s blending of tradition and innovation in the building’s design.
Café Bella features a full bar, framed by sandstone bricks, from which Dabbas’s small brewery dispenses two styles of beer, a pilsner and a stout. “I was doing it at home and I wanted to take it to the next level,” he said of the brewing operation.
The food is described as “California comfort cuisine.”
