According to a Twitter post from @lmennies of Boston Magazine, Isabelle's Curly Cakes on Charles Street has a sign out front saying that it is "closed for renovations," with the sign also saying "Please join us next month!" (Phone calls to the place went directly to voicemail.) The cupcake shop, which first opened in December of 2010, is run by Todd English and his daughter Isabelle, and features a variety of cupcakes as well as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
