Following the closure announcement, loyal customers shared emotional messages expressing their support and appreciation for the café. The café will share more details about the farewell soon.
Shifting Market Conditions Prompt Decision
In the post, the café cited financial strain and unstable market conditions as the reasons behind the decision. “The market is ever fluctuating, and in order for us to keep moving and growing, we are having to make this difficult adjustment,” said the café.
However, the café said it plans to renovate its second location on Broadway, and added that the updated space will offer more options and include new concepts planned for 2026. The closure marks the end of a five-year run for the local vegan dessert destination amid ongoing market challenges.
