After getting robbed five times in four months, and then going “cashless” in an effort to prevent thefts, a popular Bolton Hill café has closed its doors permanently.

Park Café and Coffee Bar announced on Facebook that it would close permanently on July 6. Owner David Hart did not give a reason for the closure in his message, other than saying he wanted to leave while the business was “on top.”

“It is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of the café at the close of business today,” the message said. “Our decision has not come easily.

We are proud of what we accomplished and we are very grateful for each and every customer who has visited Park over the past two and a half years.”
