Low Down on Lo-Fi's New Location is Open!

Local fans of Lo Fi Coffee House & Studio's expertly crafted coffees and teas, baked goods and curated events are in for a real treat come Wednesday, January 15, 2025 when they open their doors in a new, expanded location.

 

The move off Main and around the corner, to the former Southside Market building at 109 Central, allows for an in-house kitchen (where previously owner Ashley Dahlke was baking off-site and carting into the shop) and a new cafe space with a promising new menu. They're already peppering their Instagram with events to look forward to: an artist reception January 17th with James B. Janknegt, 4th Sunday Brunch and Books, and more. Welcome to the neighborhood, again, Lo Fi.

Hogeye, a Pig's Tale

By Terry Cole, Raconteur in Residence • October 24, 2024
Well Sirs. I was lookin for a little history cuz I wasn't too happy with what the history book said. I knew there had to be more to the start of the little town of Elgin, Texas and anyhow the history books don't always tell the truth.
