Juice bar coming to Kentucky Avenue

Matt Papania knows his way around fruits and vegetables; until October, his family owned local produce supply company Papania's.

Now he's turning to juice.

Papania and partners Tyler Hughes and Mike Asay are opening The Press Café & Juice Bar at 191 Kentucky Avenue, where La Petite Creperie used to be.

Papania said they plan to open in early August in time for the Woodland Art Fair, and they'll serve 100 percent cold-pressed juices, salads, smoothies and freezes made with fruit and nut milks.

They also plan to serve gluten-free cookies, power bars and muffins made by local baker Sarah Pennewell.

"We're Kentucky Proud certified, and we support the local producers," Papania said.
