The Book Doctor, located in the Bishop Arts District for eight years, has moved to the historic retail building at West Davis and Edgefield. An Oak Cliff family bought Cannon’s English Village last year and is renovating it. Book Doctor owner Candice McKay lives in Kings Highway and says the new location is closer to home, in a smaller space and away from busy Bishop Arts. A Massachusettsbased coffee shop, Jaho Coffee and Tea, also has agreed to terms for a lease in the building and could open as soon as October.

Restaurant roundup

The Oak Cliff restaurant world keeps turning. Bocce, a family-owned Italian restaurant, opened in the former Inforzato’s space last month. Bishop Cider Co. opened with an enormous menu of cider in bottles and on tap. Owner Joel Malone expects the first batch of locally brewed cider to be available in July. Construction has begun on Off-Site Kitchen at Trinity Groves. The restaurant, from Kessler Park resident Nick Badovinus, is expected to open this year. Outpost American Tavern, on Beckley near El Dorado, has closed, but the owners say they are negotiating with a new operator. Cretia’s Eatery and Bake Shoppe is expected to open soon in a 2,000-square-foot former pool hall in the Bishop Arts District. The new Cretia’s will have sandwiches, salads, beer, wine and coffee drinks as well as cakes and cookies.
