A Midtown favorite has announced its temporary closure following a fire last week. MetroFresh is now in the process of dealing with the damages and the insurance procedure. No injuries were reported. In the meantime, the team is inviting the community to its Peachtree location.
MetroFresh Temporarily Closes Its Midtown Promenade Location
MetroFresh at the Midtown Promenade has announced its temporary closure. On Friday, February 27, 2026, a fire broke out at the restaurant. The fire caused significant damage, prompting the temporary closure.
Owner and Chef Mitchell Anderson say a lithium battery from a leaf blower sparked the fire. The incident took place at 11 p.m., when people were still around and detected the smoke. They soon called the fire department, which helped prevent further damage.
The team is evaluating next steps and coordinating with its insurance provider. They are relieved that this incident harmed no one. Anderson has promised to keep the community updated on the incident and the restaurant’s recovery.
MetroFresh is an everyday neighborhood cafe that uses fresh, in-season produce. Offering a delicious menu and handcrafted cocktails, it is a dog- and kid-friendly spot that guests love. The Midtown Promenade location also features a patio, perfect for enjoying summertime frozen cocktails and more.
Message to the Community
While the restaurant is temporarily closed, Anderson invites people to check out their Uptown location. The second location is at 1360 Peachtree, where the community can indulge in everything it has to offer. He will be in the kitchen there, creating healthy soups and salads for their beloved patrons.
The restaurant Uptown will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. They also have a happy hour on Thursday until 7:30 p.m.
With the Midtown Promenade location closed for repairs, MetroFresh is focused on rebuilding and returning stronger. Meanwhile, loyal patrons can continue enjoying their favorites at the Peachtree location and support the cafe during this time of need. The team now looks forward to reopening its doors and welcoming guests back to Midtown soon.
