Hello Brookings,
It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Komi Tea House.
September will be our final month for service.
To answer everyone's question as clearly as possible as to why we're closing and not continuing Komi, we’ve decided to focus our energy on a new venture as we relocate to a new city.
After 2.5 years, we have decided to close our doors. Despite all of our hard work and the constant pursuit of our vision, we’ve reached the limits of what this space can provide. Moving forward here would require significant capital and a long-term commitment and after much reflection, we’ve chosen a different path.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to our community, friends, and family. You have been the true driving force behind our shop. The support, encouragement, and love we’ve received mean more than we can ever fully express. Every smile at the counter, every conversation shared, all of it gave life to Komi and made it more than just a cafe.
Goodbyes are never easy! especially to something that has been such a big part of our lives. But please know that we are excited for the next chapter and we embrace new opportunities, something a lot of you reminded us of. The memories we’ve shared here will not be forgotten, and the relationships we’ve built are everlasting. It's been an amazing opportunity to serve this community.
To our regulars! Thank you for choosing us and making us part of your routine!
To our business neighbors! Thank you for welcoming us on the block with such kindness and support.
To our boba kiddos, Thanks for making Komi the spot!
Be sure to come in and visit us before we officially close our doors! We'll be only serving our drink menu and a few snack items for the remainder of our time here.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
With gratitude,
Ming & Jade
Komi Tea House (café Komi)
