Renovations.
[deleted] t1_ixfs1ro wrote
When did they start? I’ve built 300k lab spaces in shorter time frames. I remember my parents coming up here earlier this year and them wanting to go to Coffee Exchange because my mom thought it was cute inside, so we pulled up and they were closed.
Edit: The downvotes lmao.

At last! Pic looks old though. Is that the renovated space? Did they open the upstairs too?
tads73 OP t1_ixfufpv wrote
From 11am, they did a lot of work to open a dinning room on the second floor!

Great news. It’s getting cold outside!

Awesome. Was it crowded? I may have to drop in tomorrow. Haven't been down since pre-pandemic.
tads73 OP t1_ixfvomv wrote
Since it wasn't announced and there was no banner, it was a warn open. Not too busy to turn away, the upstairs doubled the seating!

That's really good to know. It was always so packed going there. Practically had to fight for a table.

They closed the inside at the start of the pandemic and just had to go windows. They didn’t start actually renovating until this summer. They were closed closed for a couple weeks in August which I assume is when they did the work that affected the to go window….so it hasn’t been that long.

Make sure to use the bathroom at home before you go
tads73 OP t1_ixhr1jn wrote
One isolated incident long ago, could have happened anywhere.
Proof-Variation7005 t1_ixhrydw wrote
True, but it did happen there.
tads73 OP t1_ixhspil wrote
Maybe shame the person who did it, not the business/owner who lives with the embarrassment and would never condone that activity.

That dude worked there for YEARS before he got caught. He was considered "a good employee" prior to getting caught.
Sometimes, a thing is bad enough where it's "one strike and you're out" and allowing this to happen for god knows how long is on that list for me.
tads73 OP t1_ixhvygc wrote
Point taken, we all moved on

What happened in the bathroom?
Proof-Variation7005 t1_ixildu2 wrote
A former employee had set up a camera in the bathroom a decade or so ago.

That's good. It always gave me major claustrophobia is there and I'm not even a claustrophobic person.
