The Tellicafe

Tellicafe is the result of 25 years and three generations of one family dedicated to serving casual to gourmet meals in a friendly efficient manner.

My name is Richard Leudemann, I am the owner of this independently owned restaurant that offers very diverse menus designed by our Certified Executive Chef from the Culinary Institute of America. The staff here at Tellicafe works together and takes great pride in what we do.

In addition to the Tellicafe, I also own The Bears Den. We opened this restaurant in the summer of 2018 and are serving New York style pizza, hoagies, wings, beer and more. We also have live entertainment and other activities. If you have a chance, come check out this location too.
