After 20 months of planning, design and permitting approvals, MAKE Projects finally began construction on a newly-renovated 2,000 square foot home! Nestled in the welcoming Normal Heights neighborhood off Adams Avenue, MAKE Projects will also finally realize its own dreams of bringing the entire San Diego community together over a common love of food and culture. The new MAKE Cafe includes a 900-square foot commercial kitchen, 48 seat dining room, outdoor bar, large garden patio and culinary garden and for the first time, a dedicated classroom/office!

Executive Director Anchi Mei and Board Member Ron Troyano as the new MAKE Cafe build breaks ground.
