SERVING ROXBURY for a LONG, LONG TIME…
—

Welcome to Chappie’s in Roxbury! We are the happy and proud owners of a continuing tradition: in 2002 Cassie Grabowski opened Cassie’s Cafe, offering Good Food and Good Company to the good folks of Roxbury and beyond. Cassie established a much-loved eaterie serving home made treats for all to enjoy. Previously, and for many years, the building was a popular diner - “Budd’s” which shared the space also with a general store. In 2016, ready for some RandR after a successful and popular run, Cassie sold the property to James Chapman of Rhinecliff Event Catering and the creator of The Rhinecliff, the Hudson Valley’s first truly Boutique Riverside Hotel. Eager to establish a location in slowly booming Roxbury, Cassie’s Cafe was the perfect spot for James to maintain a fine tradition, and establish something new at the same time. James had previously managed, opened restaurants and trained in London, Barcelona, Athens, Venice, Manila, Mexico City and New York City. In 2019, Cassie’s Cafe finally transformed into Chappie’s, a casual, fun bistro with eclectic new menus and a new (yet distressed and vintage bar). Chappie’s is establishing its place as a fine spot to enjoy high quality, no nonsense, good foods and good times. We invite you to join us…!
