Hoover is on a roll! Did you know about these new businesses, including local establishments, that opened in the past month? Plus, take a look at who else is becoming a new neighbor in early 2020.
1. Dreamcakes Cafe
Locally owned Dreamcakes Bakery in Homewood opened its sister restaurant earlier this month. The new concept store offers a multitude of options from ice cream to various baked goods and locally roasted coffee.
Find them in the front of Ross Bridge. But, if your sweet tooth finds you while you’re at work, Dreamcakes offers delivery to you via Waitr and UBER Eats.

2. MELT
Between the grilled cheese sandwiches and board games, it only takes one meal at MELT’s location in Avondale to take us back to our childhood. More happy days are ahead with a brand-new second location in Hoover.
So what can we expect from the new location? Will they come up with an idea even more profound than mac and cheese egg rolls? Since an official opening date has yet to be announced, you’ll just have to follow @melt_hoover on Instagram to stay updated!
