A cafe in the western suburbs of Boston and its corresponding catering operation are both shutting down.
According to a source, Lavender Cafe and NaisLee Catering in West Newton are closing, with an Instagram post indicating that their original closing date of September 14 has been moved up and now the last day in operation is August 31. The earlier post mentions the following:
After exhausting all resources and possibilities, and understanding that the risk of staying open was higher than the potential benefits, we had to make the hardest decision ever for us. The obstacles we faced were extraordinary.
Lavender Cafe first opened in May of this year, offering food items with Venezuelan influences.
The address for Lavender Cafe and NaisLee Catering is 15 Spencer Street, West Newton, MA, 02465.
