A reader spotted movers hauling equipment out of the space on Friday.
The David Cafe's website and Instagram account do not mention a closure, though Google lists it as permanently closed. We reached out to David's for more information.
David's Cafe, from Daniel and BLT Market alum David Malbequi, opened in late 2015 and received praise for its menu, including "The Absolute Best Steak-Frites in New York," per Grub Street.
Malbequi is also a partner in Spice Brothers next door... the quick-serve Middle-Eastern venture just got high marks from Pete Wells at The New York Times.

My good friend and I have had brunch here twice a month for years. He was able to make online reservations for us at 11 am this past Saturday. Yet, when we arrived, the for lease signs were posted in the window and the outside dining structure was removed. We were both in shock and quite honestly, a bit sad. The food was always delicious and the service was warm. I feel bad for the FOH and BOH staff members who now have to find work in the sweltering heat. Damn. Another loss for our neighborhood.
Oh no! Always liked this place.
I meant to mention the curbside dining structure, which was removed this last week... at the time, I thought it had to do with the ongoing roadwork on St. Mark's...
I saw this when I was walking on the block yesterday and did a double-take because I had just eaten there a week and a half ago.
Another pleasant and relatively reasonable restaurant gone.
Really enjoyed David's. Sad to see it go, I was due for a visit.
