After losing the name of her restaurant to a pizza franchise moving to town this summer, Brix Terrace Café (which is now supposed to be called the Terrace Café) owner Karen Laetare has received some good news. The Martha Jefferson Hospital outpatient facility on Pantops has selected her to operate its café, which had been run by Tiger Fuel and Simply Delicious Catering.

“Someone told me I should call it the Briquette,” jokes Laetre, “ but I thought I would get in trouble with the Kingsford charcoal company.”

Instead, it will be called the Terrace Cafe @ Martha J and serve outside visitors and hospital patients and employees. For now, it will be open Monday-Friday from 7am to 3pm. The menu will have the same offerings as Brix; easy grab and go, specialty sandwiches, coffee, pastries, daily hot food menu item and soups. Brix will also be the exclusive caterer for the hospital functions.

“This is a great opportunity for Brix, and it is so refreshing to be connected with a Foundation like Martha Jefferson who wants a small business to succeed,” says Laetare. “It is truly a win-win situation built on great respect for each other.”
