Jacobsen said a lot would have to change if he wanted to keep the coffee shop open.

“We would have to raise our prices considerably or change our brand or do things that may even disrupt the nature of this community coffee shop,” he said.

People who frequent the coffee shop are sad to see it go.

“It was like a punch in the gut, and like hearing a really good friend is dying. Really, it was kind of like that,” said Steven Hether, who met a group of friends at the coffee shop several times a week to work on crossword puzzles.
