Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — Blue Moon Café is making its long-awaited return to 195 Foster Street, adding a fresh spark to Downtown Dothan’s growing revitalization. Janna Holland, owner of the New Orleans-style restaurant, is thrilled to bring back her unique, eclectic menu to the area after a nearly five-year hiatus from downtown.
Holland originally opened Blue Moon Café in 2008 on Foster in a different building, operating for a decade before relocating to Folklore Brewery. The historic building at 195 S. Foster Street was slated to house the café earlier, but progress was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Holland is excited to finally move forward.
“I’m very excited about the growth coming to downtown,” Holland said. “I enjoy seeing the older structures coming to life. The floors alone here are the original floors, dated over 100 years old.”

As Downtown Dothan continues its transformation with the City Center Revitalization Project, Blue Moon Café’s reopening marks a significant addition to the community’s evolving dining scene. Holland hopes to have the café open and serving customers by the end of January.
