Our Story · Since 2013

A corner that's always fed this town.

Good food on this corner is nothing new. For generations, 513 Allentown Road has been where Souderton came to eat and to stock the pantry — first as Edgar Landis's butcher shop and market, and later as Marcho's cafe.

In 2013, Andy and Pam Brunner reopened the doors. They'd already spent years feeding neighbors at the family's Towne Restaurant of Telford, and they wanted this place to be more than a diner — a community meeting place, and an extension of their own table.

That's still the idea. Nearly everything is Our Own — made here, from scratch, in portions that send people home full. Whether you're settling into a booth for breakfast or grabbing a hoagie from the market on your way through, you get the same honest cooking and the same welcome.

How we got here

One corner, a few chapters

  • Generations back Landis butcher shop & market

    Edgar Landis ran a butcher shop and market here — the neighborhood's place for good meat and groceries.

  • Later Marcho's cafe

    The corner became a cafe, holding onto its role as a spot where people gathered over a meal.

  • 2013 The Brunners reopen the doors

    Andy and Pam Brunner reopened the space as Franconia Cafe & Market — a community meeting place tied to their Towne Restaurant of Telford.

  • Today Two kitchens, one welcome

    A sit-down cafe and a grab-&-go market under one roof, still serving Our Own, made-here food.

We didn't reopen this corner just to run a restaurant. We reopened it to bring the town back together — and to set a table that feels like an extension of our own home.
