When casting about for a name to put on her new restaurant, longtime chef and restaurateur Deb Cargile found unexpected inspiration in a suggestion from a pair of neighbor children.
βKids always have the best ideas, right?β she said. βSo I told them, βI need to name my new restaurant, which will be having bubbly wine and delightful baked goods and breakfasts.β One little boy β heβs about 7 years old β said, βWell, why donβt you call it Bubbles and Delights?β I loved it so much β so that became our name.β
A collaboration between Cargile and her business partner Uriel Brena β with whom she worked at the now-closed Debβs Kitchen β the brightly decorated Bubbles & Delights Cafe officially opened its doors in September, replacing a short-lived Italian restaurant that had itself replaced a long-lived Maryβs Pizza Shack.
Before the new restaurantβs grand opening, a sign out front promised, βComing Soon: The Best Breakfast in Town.β
As suggested by that name, Bubbles & Delights emphasizes the effervescence of sparkling wine through the laid-back pleasures of a holiday brunch β but open every day β all while boasting a decidedly international flair.
