Spotted: Opening of Haven Wine + Cheese at Menalto Corners in Menlo Park

Haven Wine & Cheese , located at 1925 Menalto Avenue, is a new spot in the Willows created by two friends who live nearby

Lea Redmond, pictured third from left, and Sam Martinez-Colson, third from right, next to Menlo Park Drew Combs, are spotted cutting the opening day ribbon on June 21.

Drew told InMenlo: “With the opening of Haven, it marks the first time in several years that all the spaces in the Menalto retail strip are filled. I’m really excited to see all the small businesses owners who are investing in Menlo Park —  and the Willows neighborhood specifically.”

There is retail space in the front while the back is a wine bar for ages 21 and up.

Haven Wine + Cheese is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday from 11:30 am to 8:00 pm and Thursday to Saturday from 11:30 am to 9:30 pm
