Michael's Cafe opening second location in Middle River

After searching for another location for several years, Timonium-based Michael's Cafe will open a second restaurant in Middle River.

The restaurant is expected to open next year at 720 Concource Circle, part of the Greenleigh at Crossroads development near White Marsh, according to a press release.

Founded by Michael Dellis, Michael's has been in business for more than 30 years in Timonium at 2119 York Road.
