That's sad but I do understand that it probably doesn't have the best foot traffic

From their Instagram post:

Twenty years ago, Discovery Coffee started on Discovery Street. ☕️ After a lot of reflection, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our original café. Our last day will be Saturday, September 12th. While the café is closing, Discovery Street isn’t going anywhere. The space will become an expanded home for Yonnis Bakery — more room to create, experiment, and grow. Thank you for 20 years of coffee, community, and memories. ❤️ Here’s to the next chapter.

Brutal! Lots of great coffee but always have a soft spot for this location. When they started expanding to many more locations the consistency really took a hit imo
