About The Owners

Situated just off the immediate downtown square in Jacksonville, the longtime go-to eatery for locals, known as Norma’s Café, opened anew on August 18, 2021, as Kim’s Place Café by Brad and Kim Fellhauer.

“I had gotten wind a few weeks ahead of time … that Norma was retiring … I talked to [the landlord of] the building to see if we could work something out if I were interested,” Brad explained. When he spoke with his wife, her response was that it was a shame it would be closing. So, he asked her if she’d be interested in buying it. “We talked about it for 30, 45 seconds probably … [Kim] was pretty ready to go. That’s how it happened.”

The pair work as a team, with Brad running the business side of things and Kim doing what she loves best: cooking!

With their success, Kim’s Place Cafe has expanded. They purchased SafeCo Bakery and have re-christened it “Kim’s Other Place,” which will serve homemade donuts, pies, and more!
