This led them to open a second concept in Valparaiso called Tomato Bar. - Based on their successful track record and dedication to high quality food and service, we thought Tomato Bar would be the perfect fit for Shops on Main. - Tomato Bar had such a successful launch they had to close two hours early their first Saturday. The volume of customers overwhelmed their expectations and they were concerned about running out of pizza dough as wait times approached two hours. ![Lattes with milk art from Café La Fortuna](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/file-3689933856-jpg/blog-files/cafe-la-fortuna.jpg?width=720&height=464&name=cafe-la-fortuna.jpg) ## Café la Fortuna [CafeLaFortuna.com](http://CafeLaFortuna.com) | *[Hinsdale Lake Commons](http://www.regencycenters.com/retail-space/il/willowbrook/hinsdale-lake-commons)* - A 3rd generation coffee bean grower and roaster, Alejandro Garcia established one of the first “farm to table” coffee shops in the Chicago suburb of Hinsdale. - While his first location opened as a small test concept, the new location in Hinsdale Lake Commons is his first full-scale coffee shop and will include Mexican inspired breakfast and lunch fare. - All beans sold from the coffee shop are grown on the owner’s plantation in Mexico and roasted on-site in the store. - The space was a former Caribou Coffee that was torn down to the studs and completely rebuilt. ![Collage of four photos from farm-to-table restaurant Urban Plates: a cup of tomato soup, a outside shot of the restaurant and two images of a cafe inside](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/file-3689933921-jpg/blog-files/urban-plates.jpg?width=720&height=464&name=urban-plates.jpg) ## Urban Plates [UrbanPlates.com](http://UrbanPlates.com) | [*Persimmon Place*](http://www.regencycenters.com/retail-space/ca/dublin/persimmon-place) - Urban Plates is the new farm to plate concept that won’t break the bank. - **Farm:** freshly delivered from local farms and producers. - **Plate:** chef-crafted dishes piled high with one-of-a-kind flavors. - Won’t break the bank: means you could pay twice as much for food this good, but you won’t at Urban Plates. - A fast-casual restaurant with an absolute passion for high-quality food grown in a sustainable fashion. - Interior and exterior store designs provide guests a comfortable and welcome environment for casual dining. ## ![Collage of beauty products inside Woo Skincare + Cosmetics at Paces Ferry Plaza](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/file-3689933981-jpg/blog-files/woo-skincare-cosmetics.jpg?width=720&height=464&name=woo-skincare-cosmetics.jpg) ## Woo Skincare + Cosmetics [WooSkincareAndCosmetics.com](http://WooSkincareAndCosmetics.com) | [*Paces Ferry Plaza*](http://www.regencycenters.com/retail-space/ga/atlanta/paces-ferry-plaza) - A best-in-class regional operator, Woo Skincare + Cosmetics was attracted to our center when they realized our local customer is their target client. - With local ownership and in-store expertise, every experience at Woo is characterized by the “golden rule” that every customer leaves happy. - Woo Skincare + Cosmetics, founded by Woo Caroland, started in Nashville, TN in 1992.
