A restaurant in Worcester is getting ready to debut the first element of its operation with the opening of its cafe this week. According to a post on its Facebook page, Lock 50 will kick off business with coffee, breakfast, and lunch service.

There is also a selection of crepes, including a classic Nutella, banana, and hazelnut combination, along with some savory options like the roasted mushroom, goat cheese and fresh herb crepe, as well as the blue crab, cream cheese, and grilled scallion crepe.

Lunch features soups, salads, and sandwiches, and the coffee served in the cafe is sourced from Equal Exchange Coffee Roasters, according to Lock 50's website.
