North Fork Roasting Co., the much-anticipated Southold coffee roaster and java spot, has announced Valentine’s Day as its opening date.
“We just established an opening date of February 14, assuming no surprises,” owners Jennilee Morris and Jess Dunne said in a Facebook message to northforker. That makes two Main Road artisans opening up shop on V-day. North Fork Chocolate is also expected to open their Aquebogue storefront that day.
However, Morris and Dunne ask that you refrain from canoodling on their cozy couches.

PeraBell Food Bar, which will open at the site of the former Cody’s on Riverhead’s East Main Street, posted a photo of a wood-burning pizza oven that the owners recently ordered from Naples, Italy. And that thing sure looks pretty. The last time we spoke to owners Scotti Campbell and John Peragine, they said they were hoping for a May opening. We will keep you posted.

And Tikal.I recently opened on in Greenport. The menu includes traditional Hispanic fare like tostadas, tacos and empanadas as well as breakfast options. We haven’t eaten there yet, we saw the menu and it is reasonably priced ($2.50 for a taco, $6.00 for a quesadilla). The new eatery is located at 110 Front Street.
