Library Coffee Co- Closing 5/31


Sad, sad news to report today... our beloved local coffee shop Library Coffee Co is closing its doors after over 3 years in business. We had heard rumors a week or so ago that the owner has sold/leased the space for a new sushi restaurant. As much as I love sushi... local coffee shops are so much better. We are very sad to see this place go- we have many good memories of happy hours, wine tastings, live music, and sunday coffee walks with the pup. I doubt a sushi restaurant will have half as much atmosphere (or $3 draft beers!). We will keep you posted on any updates, and see below for the email from the owner.

Yes, the rumors are true! After an awesome 3 and a half year run we are closing our doors on May 31st. While it is truly sad to close our doors, I have an amazing offer and life opportunity that I simply cannot pass up. Brookhaven has been part of my life for 11 years and our goal when we opened up was to try and give Brookhaven it's own independent meeting space/café. While that was a resounding success, it has truly been an honor to serve the community.

Secondly, AND MUCH MORE IMPORTANT, I have 12 employees who are losing there jobs, half of which I have worked with for over 3 years. I do feel an obligation to do my best to transition them to new opportunities and I would greatly appreciate any of your efforts to that end. If you have or know of jobs available please get in touch with me so I can help any or all of them transition to a new job.

Owning and operating Library Coffee Company has fulfilled one of my many dreams and I thank each and every one of you who has been part of the experience.

BE HUMAN

Sincerely,

Brian Kahan
Owner, Library Coffee Co.
Be Human.

Cheers to 3 great years... We will miss you,
