It’s been big news the past few months that Elizabeth Falkner decided to shutter her Civic Center/Hayes Valley flagship restaurant and move it up to Fillmore Street in Pacific Heights. Citizen Cake’s remodel and move-in at the former Vivande Porta Via space is coming along, but as Elizabeth tells us today, as per uje with these things, it’s not all happening as fast as planned. “I don’t think we will have a 3/15 opening, but hopefully it will happen a week or so after.” She also tells us that in addition to the full lunch and dinner menus below, the new café will be serving a selection of new cakes and confections, as well as beer floats (!), sodas made with gum syrups, and ice cream made to order using liquid nitrogen.
Citizen Cake’s popular brunch, as we noted earlier, already shifted over to Orson as of last weekend.
