Cafe Jonah calls its quits ahead of planned closure.
Cafe Jonah, the popular breakfast, lunch and brunch eatery owner Jenny Levison opened in 2011, is closed. I was first to break news of the planned closure this past December, at which time Levison indicated she planned to close the restaurant at the end of February. For reasons not made any clearer in her announcment earlier today, Levison says she decided to close the restaurant "effective immediately."
Many patrons will wish they were able to visit the restaurant one last time before its closure, and they may be in luck!
According to the announcement, the restaurant will reopen this coming Sunday, February 14th for one last brunch from 9am-3pm. For the day, the restaurant will also celebrate their original vision and bring back their "Pay What You Want" concept.
Please see the full announcement below:
Dear Wonderful, loyal guests,
After much reflection, I wanted to let everyone know that I have decided to close Cafe Jonah earlier than previously planned. I know you are aware that our property has been purchased and being developed into a high-rise and our original closing was February 28th. (can I just say, I wish I owned the property because I would now be a billionaire!!!)
We will now be closed effective immediately except for our last Brunch this Sunday from 9-3. We will also celebrate our original vision for the day and go back to our "Pay What You Want" concept for our final day.
Please do not worry about my incredible, hard working staff. Sue and Sheila will be taking a much deserved paid three week break and all of our staff will be cared for.
It has been an honor and a pleasure to serve all of you and to be part of this thoughtful and supportive community.
We hope to see you Sunday!
Love, Jenny
Will you miss Cafe Jonah and the Magical Attic? Are you as fed up as I am with the seemingly endless additional residential development in the Buckhead Village and surrounding areas? Where would you like to see Cafe Jonah reopen?
