Ann's Books Bistro

The new bistro is owned and operated by Edgecomb native Abigail “Abby” White, who previously ran a theater company in Manhattan, and Chris Padil, a chef who has consulted for a handful of high-end restaurants in Manhattan.

White and Padil hope to create a community hub with Ann’s Book Bistro — offering authentic Spanish cuisine and daily specials; an array of coffee drinks, like lattes and cappuccinos; a fresh fruit and vegetable juice bar; and a collection of more than 2,000 books inherited from a good friend, Ann Raychel.
