For Tallahassee foodies, this restaurant closing may crush you: Paisley Cafe will soon serve its last dish.

Owner Kiersten Lee shared the news on her Facebook page today. She thanked the community and her family and friends "for all the love and support over the years."

The doors will close in mid-July, according to Lee's post. The restaurant opened eight years ago.

Paul Bradshaw, who owns the building the cafe is in, said current managing partner Jeri Madden "will be transitioning Paisley to a new restaurant with many of the same items but a slightly updated concept." Bradshaw added that Madden has run the cafe for the last year.

Within an hour, Lee's post sparked more than 100 comments from residents who said they'd miss the "love on the plate" meals created by Lee and her staff.

Susanna Escobar, one of Lee's Facebook friends, posted the following:

"My heart just broke! Thank you for sharing your heart, your love, your passion with us all. You could taste it in every bite and every sip ❤️ Hugs, and wishing we could grab a bite one last time... stupid living out of state 😭😭 All the blessing for you as you set the next course!"

In the span of a month, Paisley Cafe is the latest restaurant to announce an imminent closing. Last week, Nefetari’s Fine Dining and Spirits said it would only be open for special events and catering. Merv’s Melt Shop, Downtown Ramen Bar and The Deck Pizzeria and Pub also are among the culinary casualties.
