History of the Building where Our Cafe is Located at:

1900's        This building used to be a residence.

1920's        It was later turned over into an Ice Cream parlor called "Little         
                   Dipper", while serving as a residence to the Ice Cream parlor        
                   owner (a lady entrepreneur).


1950's       The Ice Cream parlor/residence was sold to a husband & wife,        
                  who lived & worked in the same building......as their family grew,     
                  they expanded their Ice Cream parlor business by selling                
                  sandwiches. ...BY this time the business name was no longer         
                  suitable and the owner with his sense of humor decided to call it     
                  "Sandwiched Inn", as the building was squeezed (..sandwiched)     
                   between the two taller adjacent buildings. The business became   
                  so successful that the family moved out and bought a house,         
                  and the living quarters of the house was turned into additional        
                  space needed for the restaurant.


1970's        This house/restaurant was later sold to a chef & his wife, who        
                   further expanded the type & flavor of the food being catered to     
                   the then student population of the San Jose State University.



1980's        Affie's (present owner/chef) parents bought Sandwiched Inn, and  
                   kept the staff..

1990's        Sandwiched Inn as a business changed hands, & was sold to two  
                   partners.


2002          Cafe Pomegranate's idea was conceptualized by Affie's Dad,
          and construction/remodeling started.

2003         Cafe Pomegranate started serving the general public in June 2003.
