As I was driving out to the Times Cinema last week to catch a MIFF screening I noticed that Another Blessings Café -- a relatively new coffee shop at 5010 W. Vliet St. that opened in the spring of 2006 -- is now a quaint Italian restaurant called Pizzeria Tazza.

I didn't want to be late for the movie, so I didn't go inside, although, from the street, the interior looked sleek and modern with nice alternative lighting. There was still a banner outside instead of permanent signage, implying its arrival is still pretty recent.

As Another Blessings Café, the West Side coffee spot owned by enthusiastic entrepreneur Eugene Bonner -- who you can read about in my interview with him here -- was short-lived and had replaced the previous, and equally as short-lived, Blessings Café.

Hopefully this Vliet Street location isn't one of those infamous Milwaukee "black holes," especially in the wake of such a successful and on-going Washington Heights resurgence.

Has anyone been there yet and tasted its fare?
