Meet Natalie Wertz, founder and owner of Phat Cakes & Cafe. Located in downtown Tiffin across from the Ritz Theatre, the restaurant offers a full menu including craft beer, wine, mixed drinks, homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, quiche, specials, and gourmet desserts.
Established as a home-based business in 2009, the hunt for a storefront started almost immediately as Wertz' customer base grew. Looking to give new life to a building that was targeted for a tear down, the vision to open and coexist with Bunky's Bicycle Service was put into motion. Demolition started in 2010 and it took a solid year of self renovation.
“At the beginning of construction it was almost impossible to envision that we were going to build this space into anything...demolition alone took months, but I'm glad that we were able to revitalize a vacant building downtown. I chose Tiffin for many reasons. The best one is because of my family and friends that are absolutely dedicated to the core. They have helped with the construction and growth of Phat Cakes from the beginning," says Wertz.
Awarded the Entrepreneur Spirit award by the Seneca Industrial & Economic Development Corporation in 2014, Wertz and her staff continue to add a positive vibe to the downtown scene.
From Natalie and the amazingly dedicated staff at Phat Cakes & Bunky's, "We hope to see you soon!
