Mojo Café to become “Café Livin”
Meet Bill Etter and Olivia White, the new owners of the soon come Café Livin’.
Bill ran Mojo Café for about three years, up until last November, and now Bill and Olivia, who met on St. John a few years ago and are soon to be married, are back in charge and hope to reopen sometime next week.
“We’re keeping old favorites on the menu, but we’re adding some new things,” says Olivia. “I’m not going to say what, but I will say we’re going to be serving up some things that no one else is right now.”
Bill and Olivia also say they’re looking forward to getting back into the Wharfside groove and seeing their friends. It’s the social water cooler of Cruz Bay, they say.
The new Café Livin’ will be open for breakfast and lunch, and Olivia says, like Mojo Café, the prices will be very reasonable.
So what’s with the name Café Livin’? There’s a double meaning to it.
“Livin’ is a laid back way of describing life on the island, but it’s also my nickname. My close friends don’t call me Olivia…the call me Livin’, so it was Bill’s way of naming the business after me,” she says.

Always happy to welcome a new “reasonable” place to eat since cooking is on the bottom of my things to do while on island, many good wishes to both of you and we will see you in November!

Wonderful! Excited that they’ll be open when I’m there! My list of places I want to eat is getting so long I think I’m going to need to add a 4th meal to my days. My kind of vacation!
