Delights Artisan Café in Barnegat was welcomed with a packed house at its grand opening Saturday, Nov. 9. Friends and customers stayed to hear musicians whose notes blended with the aroma of cappuchino, fresh cinnamon rolls and homemade soups.

Owners Bill Clanton Jr. and wife Natercia always wanted to open a caf é, and the chance came in the contemporary plaza at 34 South Main, just south of downtown Barnegat.
