Local Food Chain's Somerville Spot Closes After A Decade

SOMERVILLE, MA — A restaurant has closed its Somerville location after nearly a decade in business.

NU Kitchen announced the closure of its restaurant at 195 Washington St. in a message posted at the location in Union Square. The restaurant did not provide a specific reason for the decision, but said its two other Massachusetts locations in Worcester and Newburyport remain open.

"After nearly 10 wonderful years, we've made the difficult decision to close NU Kitchen Somerville," the message said.

Formerly known as NU Cafe, the restaurant has focused its menu around healthier food and drink options, offering soups, salads, wraps, paninis, breakfast dishes, smoothies, acai bowls, fresh juices, coffee, and other items. The restaurant has also offered many vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options.

NU Kitchen describes its concept as focusing on wholesome ingredients and mindful preparation while offering food designed to support a healthy lifestyle.

The closure does not impact the restaurant's two other Massachusetts locations. NU Kitchen continues to fully operate at 335 Chandler St. in Worcester and 19 Pleasant St. in Newburyport.

"We hope to see many of you there," the message said about its two other locations.
