What's Up With This?

A popular Palm Harbor restaurant and coffee shop has closed its doors.

 earned from customers on Palm Harbor Patch and  The restaurant appeared to do a steady business and .

But now, the inside of the restaurant is almost bare, with the exception of trash that is strewn around and a small table with a couple bottles of cleaner sitting on it. A handwritten note on the door says, "Closed Infinite Love and Gratitute". 

So what happened?

We don't know.

A few weeks ago, owner Louise Goetz told Palm Harbor Patch she was considering opening a new business nearby. We even chatted about a possible story about the new business. Then, when we saw that the Old Town Cafe had closed, we called Goetz. But, she has not yet gotten back with us.

We did notice that the restaurant's most recent inspection report dated May 30, 2012, said that the Old Town Cafe had been operating since February 1, 2012 without a current Hotel and Restaurant License. We do not know if the lack of a license had anything to do with the restaurant's closure.

Palm Harbor Patch readers have asked us why the Old Town Cafe & Coffee House is closed. We're continuing to gather new information and we'll be sure to update you as soon as possible.
