Per an Instagram message: "Though the time was short, the experience and support will last a lifetime. It’s been real NYC!"
The post also mentioned some upcoming "sweet" news about the space (which we heard is a new vendor taking over the storefront).
The independent/minority-owned shop, which opened in October and offers a variety of coffee drinks and housemade pastries, recently reduced its hours to weekends only.
We heard from a few bummed-out EVG readers who were fans of The Avenue.
This marked the first storefront for the owners after two-plus years inside the Jamaica Market food hall in Queens.
The previous tenant at No. 102 was another short-lived cafe concept — Compilation Coffee.
