I just read this one from Kathleen Pierce at the SUN
Breaking news: Sign on the Gorham Street cafe today says “had to close store.” What? I just bought some killer tatoosh beans on Sat. and there was no inkling the cafe was about to shutter. I even chatted w/ the owner Aaron. Now that I think about it, he seemed a little down. I blamed it on being overworked, but maybe he was on the way out. Anyone know anything?Im headed over there now to find out. If this is true (and he’s not taking an abrupt vaca) it’s a big loss to the downtown eating/drinking/cafe scene. Im pissed.
Update: It’s true. No vaca for Aiello. The owner was behind on rent. Look for my story in tomorrow’s sun. Now where can we go for our velvet foam lattes?
I just think I’m going to cry… where will I get coffee…what is a Starbucks junky to do in Lowell?
How can it be that Lowell can support about 1,000 Dunkin’ Donuts, but not one or two really good coffee shops?
One response to “Cafe Aiello”
