New Ownership Stirs Things Up at Local Coffee Shop

Java Dock's new management hope to make a few changes, including expanded hours, additions to the menu and more.

Thanks to a last-minute rescue by the owner of the building Java Dock inhabits, the coffee shop will stay open with the same name on the sign — but with new ownership and new employees.

While food at these establishments may be delicious, this particular conversation focused on the sit-down, waitress-oriented type restaurant. After that, our list went blank.

Featuring seafood favorites with a twist, the new Victor's Pier Street Shanty will open in with lake views in a weeks.

"It’s really coming to life," Sara Grover, executive director of Port Washington Main Street, said of the soon-to-be opened Victor’s Pier Street Shanty. Owner Victor Cerda has been planning the details of his new restaurant for the past few months and is looking forward to opening in early July. The casual restaurant, 301 E. Pier St., will specialize in seafood, but with inventive twists, Cerda said. Some of the offerings, created by Cerda and his chef Lisa Elbe, will include whole lobster, paella and lake trout Veracruz, Cerda said, and he hopes to finalize the menu soon.
