Since 1998, Diana Hall-Yurasits has been serving “freshness and love in every bite” at Diana’s Café on Route 309 in Center Valley. But in early 2024, facing labor shortages, she chose a path that would allow her café to live on in a new way. Now operating as Diana’s Catering & Gourmet Market, Hall-Yurasits is still serving up the same fare her customers have grown to love with a new emphasis on catering services for both commercial and private events, and last August she opened a market in her existing location offering ready-made food options for every meal. “The transition is going well. A little different for us, but we are up for the changes,” Hall-Yurasits says. She has worked with executive chef Erin Haas to craft an extensive carry-out menu of quality comfort food like lobster macaroni and cheese, crab bisque and grain and pasta bowls. For nights when you just don’t feel like cooking, full dinner options are available for same-day pre-order. Baker Jane Zinggler rounds out the café’s offerings with handmade pies, quiches, cookies and cakes. For customers who miss dining in, Diana’s offers a weekly in-house brunch on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. featuring a menu with a mix of old favorites and new specials. Twice a month, Diana’s hosts five-course sunset dinners (snag a reservation early!), and the dining room space is available to rent for small events. “After 25 years in business, we are excited for this new chapter in our history,” Hall-Yurasits says. “We are so happy to be able to continue to do what we love and still support our community!”
