In between Lindy’s and Opa’s Grill, there’s a new cafe to welcome on Fourth.

During the month of November, L Station Cafe & Bar quietly opened its doors with a rotating menu of goodies down on 500 N. Fourth Ave.

When it comes to keeping things local with the restaurant’s bread, pastries, tortillas, and meat, general manager Danny Calderon says that it’s a top priority.

“One thing we like to emphasize is that we are all local,” said Calderon, “and most — if not all — of the products we buy are from local vendors.”

Back in the kitchen, the crew has been working countless hours to get the place up and running, including executive chef Adrian Castillo, who’s putting a unique touch on the different menus, and the sweet bites crafted by pastry chef Felicia Weipert.

Upon arrival, you’ll notice that most of the seating is out on the patio, which is well-equipped with umbrellas and heaters, and they’re working on getting misters installed, too, for the warmer months of the year.

The restaurant is also brewing up something exclusive.

For all of the coffee aficionados out there, the baristas are using a Modbar espresso machine — a system that’s well worth more than $1,000 and extremely rare. You’ll definitely want to take a glance at their menu, and in the coming weeks, they’ll be ready to serve up a nitro cold brew.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
