KaFean Koffee closes at Montgomery Mall in Bethesda


KaFean Koffee
has closed at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. Their kiosk was cleared out last night, and signage was removed. KaFean Koffee opened here in August of 2024, but apparently could not withstand the competition with Starbucks upstairs. I don't think we can necessarily blame the Montgomery County Council for this closure, as unless you are Auntie Anne's, these kiosks can be rough sailing.

Robert, I won't tolerate this defeatist attitude for a second. You miss 100% of the Heckuva job, Brownies you don't take!

The manager told me that they had initially wanted to renew their lease, but the rent was raised on them. So they had no other choice but to exit the mall.'

That spot is jinxed.

Can we blame Gas Bag Elrich ?

Only if you continue to gaslight.

The grammar police should have shut them down from the beginning.

Actually, I heard that they're only relocating since the mall management was going to demolish that section
