âItâs such a joy to be out here in the sunshine,â Froehlich said mid-morning after ordering a latte and a cheese croissant. âWe would always come here for breakfast before COVID-19, so in a way it feels like a home away from home. The last time we did this was last summer. Itâs been way too long.â

So unless people have a change of heart, I donât think weâll see a full return to normal. Things are no longer the same.â
