Daphne's Greek Cafe, the almost two decade old fast casual Greek eatery with locations alllll over SoCal, is bracing for a complete overhaul. Think new name, new menu, booze, and updated decor. This month Daphne's will open a prototype in the OC that embodies the aforementioned changes. In February or March the chain's name will switch from "Daphne's Greek Cafe" to “Daphne’s California Greek,” the menu will focus on more healthful offerings, units will serve beer and wine, plus interior decor gets a revamp with eco-friendly elements. Overall, the idea is the make Daphne's "hipper and cool." Following the launch of the OC prototype, Daphne's plans to revitalize all units by the end of this year. [NRN]
