Café con Chocolate "temporarily" closed
"You have no idea how difficult this past weekend was," says Yoshi Yamasaki of her decision to not open her sunny Café con Chocolate (2100 S. Norwood St.) for usual business hours. "I'm in the conflict of investing on updating the kitchen and having new management."
Yamasaki, who had to take an unexpected trip to Mexico to care for her hospitalized mother, announced the decision on the café's Facebook page Friday, to the tune of wailing fans. She says service issues, the out-of-the-way location (one of the things that made it so charming), staff turnover — her brother and daughter, once staples at the cafe, don’t work there anymore — and lack of business outside brunch are among the reasons for the closure. "I'm hoping I can get back on my feet again. Something has to change."
For now, we echo her Facebook groupies: We’ll miss you, Yoshi!
