For more than 25 years, Frank Ballard helped make Hayes Barton Cafe & Dessertery more than a neighborhood restaurant. 🍽️
It became a place where friends gathered, milestones were celebrated, and countless memories were made. ❤️
Alongside his wife, Marget, Frank brought warmth and genuine hospitality to Five Points, treating guests like old friends and helping create a true neighborhood institution. His legacy lives on in every shared slice of cake, familiar greeting, and cherished memory made at the cafe. ✨
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Marget, the Ballard family, and the entire Hayes Barton Cafe team. 🌹
