The original location of a local group of cafes is shutting down.
According to an article from Cambridge Day, Darwin's in the Harvard Square section of Cambridge is getting ready to close its doors, with a note from founders Steven and Isabel Darwin saying that the lease is up and they are taking "workload and personal health" into account with their decision to close the Mt Auburn Street spot. The note also indicates that a new business will be taking over the space, saying that "We honestly believe the new owners will make their place as special as Darwin's. We hope the community will welcome them as we were welcomed in 1993." Cambridge Day mentions that a worker at another location said the closure is expected to take place by December 1.
It appears that other locations of Darwin's in Cambridge that are on Cambridge Street, Massachusetts Avenue, and Putnam Avenue will remain in operation, though stay tuned for updates.
The address for Darwin's in Harvard Square is 148 Mt Auburn Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138. The website for all locations is at https://www.darwinsltd.com/
