The brick building at 162 Allen St was built in 1880, designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s contemporaries, still stands almost 150 years later. The building was here before the Pan-American Exposition and was here when the 25th President of the United States of America, William McKinley was assassinated. The Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural site is right around the corner from Owl Eyes Café.
We got our name from The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Owl Eyes was an eccentric, bespectacled drunk whom Nick Carraway meets at the first party he attends at Gatsby’s Mansion. He is a symbol of insight and perception as he sheds light upon the character of Jay Gatsby. At the end of the novel, he is the only character to attend Gatsby’s funeral besides the narrator. F. Scott Fitzgerald spent part of his childhood living in the Lennox Hotel on North Street before his parents bought a house in Allentown. He attended both Holy Angels and Nardin Academy before his family moved to the Midwest.
Owl Eyes Café is quickly becoming the go-to spot for coffee, tea, baked goods, and sandwiches for one and all. Stop by and hoot at us!
