Park Slope Cafe Closes Because Of Landlord Dispute

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN -- A Seventh Avenue cafe and restaurant shuttered its doors Sunday afternoon because of a "dispute with the landlord," according to a sign posted on the front door.

Market Table by Café M, a coffee shop and casual eatery on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Garfield Place, closed the space Sunday afternoon, about one year after the restaurant first opened, owners wrote.

"Due to a dispute with the landlord Market Table by Café M will be closing this location," the sign read. "We hope to reopen soon nearby to continue serving you farm fresh foods and great coffee."

Owners did not immediately respond to Patch's request for more information about their reasons for closing.

The eatery is the second location for catering company and coffee shop Café M, which opened at 315 Fifth Ave. in Manhattan in 2009, according to the Café M website.

The Park Slope location first opened on Seventh Avenue in the fall of 2017, according to a DNAinfo report. Both locations promised diners organic and locally-sourced food that would support local farmers.

The building has belonging to Joung Sik Tak, who did not immediately reply to Patch's request for comment, since 2003, city records show.
