The name "Bell the Cat" holds a special meaning, inspired by an age-old fable attributed to Aesop. In the story, a group of clever mice hatched a plan to attach a bell to a cat's neck, ensuring they would be warned of its approach in the future. However, they faced a significant challenge - finding a brave volunteer to execute the task. Now for our story! Welcome to Bell the Cat, a charming cafe located in the heart of Belfast, ME, with a rich history dating back to 1994. Originally a beloved local spot offering delightful Italian sodas and pastries, the restaurant has evolved over the years to become a haven for breakfast and lunch enthusiasts. In 2015, Jojo, an ambitious and passionate food lover, fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning and operating a craft cafe by purchasing Bell the Cat. Propelled by his All-American football career at the University of Maine, Jojo ventured across the nation, encountering an array of local flavors and culinary experiences. The inspiration garnered from these gastronomic adventures helped him craft a unique and eclectic menu for Bell the Cat. However, this endeavor was not a solitary journey; the invaluable contribution of Tori Molina, a talented baker who had been part of the establishment since its inception, played an instrumental role. Revered by patrons and staff alike, Tori continues to manifest her baking magic, creating freshly baked delights that whisk diners away to a world of heavenly tastes. Together, Jojo and Tori's fusion of experiences and passion results in an unforgettable dining symphony at Bell the Cat.
