Brenda Delehanty is venturing into the restaurant business solo for the first time, opening Sugar & Spice in downtown Rockford.

The restaurant, 414 E. State St., will feature breakfast and lunch, and some catering. Delehanty describes it as a “homestyle bistro,” and she’s hoping to open the restaurant by June 16.

“It’s going to be what downtown needs,” Delehanty said. “Our goal is to bring a taste of home to downtown Rockford. When people come here, they’re going to get a taste of grandma’s house or mom’s house with homemade food.”

Delehanty most recently managed the nCAFE at the nearby nCENTER. She said Sugar & Spice will serve specialty coffees, breakfast and lunch specials every day and sandwiches, soups, pastries, cakes, candies, hot dogs, hamburgers and brats.

The facility has meeting space for about 30 people, too. The decor will be an antique, eclectic look, Delehanty said.

Sugar & Spice will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The business does not have a phone number set up yet, but we’ll update you when it does.
