ToNeTo Atlanta has been spending a lot of time in East Cobb (more on that later) and there is plenty of development activity to report on. In months past we have shared news of new restaurants, services and retailers opening in the area and while we have updates to share on some of them, we also have new developments to report, too!
Roberto “Beto” Correa is bringing his Mexican eatery Beto's Tacos to Buckhead. The new outpost will open in place of the former Moe's Southwest Grill on the third floor of Phipps Plaza. Beto's is most well known for their authentic Mexican street tacos, but the eatery also features a variety of "tortas," Mexican street sandwiches, nachos, plates, salads, burritos and soups, among other options. Correa opened his first Beto's on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road in Suwanee May 28, 2019. A second location opened on Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville in March 2021. Correa debuted a third location August 24 on McGinnis Ferry Road in Johns Creek.
Bed Bath & Beyond announced plans August 31 to close stores and layoff employees as it works to stabilize its business and improve its balance sheet. The Union, New Jersey-based retailer did not at the time indicate which stores would close, but ToNeTo Atlanta has confirmed at least two stores the company plans to close in metro Atlanta.
Postino WineCafé, will officially open to the public in Buckhead on Monday, September 12. The new restaurant is located in Tuxedo Festival and replaces the former Flip Burger Boutique that shuttered in late 2017 after seven years in business. That the space was once a Blockbuster Video is not lost on its new occupant who created a wall honoring its former VHS-heavy home. A second Postino is slated to join the growing roster at the Brickworks project in West Midtown in 2023.
Nearly two years after we first revealed plans for Cafe Agora Midtown to close and expand, things are taking shape. Dinner service on September 3 marked the final day in business for ten year old Cafe Agora Midtown (92 Peachtree Place) before it expands, renovates and reopens in 2023.
