Coffee House In East Windsor Delays Planned Closing: UPDATED
Huge increases in the cost of food and supplies, coupled with the minimum wage increase, have made it difficult for the shop to stay afloat.
EAST WINDSOR, CT — A coffee house at Sofia's Plaza in East Windsor will soon be shutting its doors for good, but exactly when is unclear.

A message from the owner reads, "Due to the recent minimum wage increase and a large increase in the cost of food and supplies, we can no longer afford to keep our shop open. We are all very sorry that everything is coming to an end."
