New strategy for vacant retail/restaurant space on Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda (Photos)

The space once occupied by City Cafe & Caterers has sat vacant since last May. Now landlord Lincoln Property Company has posted renderings in the windows at 7514 Wisconsin Avenue, showing prospective tenants what it could look like for retail use. In this particular case, it is as a fashion boutique.

It is located by the revamped office building at 7550 Wisconsin Avenue, and very close to the Bethesda Metro station.

Exclusive!

Bad news for downtown Bethesda workers - City Cafe & Caterers has closed at 7514 Wisconsin Avenue. A favorite breakfast and lunch option for office dwellers, City Cafe's favorable online reviews didn't suggest this place would go out of business. The owners confirm the cafe has closed permanently, but hint at the possibility of reopening elsewhere in town, so stay tuned!

Could they have stayed longer if the
vacant Class A office building nearby
had been able to attract tenants?
