Update: Plaza Catering and Deli and Cafe Latino in Boston to Morph into Discovery Cafe in Cambridge

[Ed note: This article was updated on November 7 to reflect new information about the move from Boston to Cambridge.]

A new cafe is getting ready to open in Cambridge, and the folks behind it also happen to run a corporate catering operation in Boston.

Eater Boston is reporting (via Chowhound) that the Discovery Cafe is opening on Sixth Street in Kendall Square, with the eatery being a "full-fledged restaurant" from the people behind Plaza Catering and Deli in Government Center. EB indicates that this appears to be a move, as Plaza Catering will be bringing its operations over to the Discovery Cafe, and a check on the Plaza Catering website seems to confirm this, as their contact information refers people to an address on Binney Street in Cambridge that is in the same block as the upcoming Discovery Cafe.

Expect to see soups, salads, snacks, pizza, sandwiches, and breakfast dishes at the Discovery Cafe, which is hoping to open on November 5.

[November 7 update: According to a poster on the Chowhound site, it looks like the Discovery Cafe is now open. Also, in addition to Plaza Catering and Deli leaving Government Center, Cafe Latino (which was part of the same place) has also closed, with Eater Boston stating that it will be merging with the Discovery Cafe, though there apparently won't be much of an emphasis on their menu items.]

The address for this new cafe in Kendall Square is: Discovery Cafe, 157 Sixth Street, Cambridge, MA, 02141. Their website can be found at http://www.discoverycafecambridge.com/
