The Saugus Cafe, known as the oldest cafe in Los Angeles County, reopened its doors on Monday in Santa Clarita.
Established in 1886, the cafe had initially closed earlier this month, with many believing it was a permanent shutdown. However, new owner Eduardo Reyna took over and quickly revitalized the historic establishment.
Reyna and his team worked tirelessly for about two weeks, renovating the interior, cleaning, repainting, and updating the kitchen to prepare for the reopening. The cafe welcomed its first customer just minutes after opening at 5 a.m. Reyna expressed his excitement, stating, “I’m so happy. This was a very fast turnaround, but we’re very happy and excited to open.”
While the main dining area is now open to the public, renovations are still ongoing in the bar area. General Manager Simon Aguilar explained that the bar section is taking longer to complete due to its age. “The bar is just taking a little more time,” Aguilar said. “It’s extremely old and needs more work, but it will eventually be open.”
