The Mustard Seed Café, 562 N. Main St., has been rebranded and is now open as Mustard Seed Chop, according to owner Rhonda Moor.
Located in the former Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad depot, the Mustard Seed Café opened five years ago as a breakfast and lunch establishment.
Purchased in 2015 by Moor, executive chef, the café launched dinner and brunch menus. Recently, it closed for renovations and creation of a new concept and menu.
The result is that it is now an American Casual Chop House with a simpler décor and menu.
