We realize we never publicly shared what happened, and we felt you deserved to know.
After announcing that we would be closing our Manhattan location, we were hopeful that Peaceful Grounds would have a new beginning. Unfortunately, our first opportunity for a new location fell through. We then spent weeks working toward what we believed would be another promising opportunity with a local business, but that, too, came to an unexpected end at the last minute. As difficult as it is to say, that was the final blow for us.
While this chapter didn’t end the way we dreamed, it doesn’t take away everything Peaceful Grounds became.
We will forever cherish the friendships we made, the conversations shared over coffee, the laughter, the celebrations, and the sense of community that filled our little shop each day. What started as a dream became so much more because of all of you.
We also want to thank the incredible team who poured their hearts into Peaceful Grounds. Your hard work, kindness, and dedication brought this place to life every single day, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
And to our customers, thank you. Thank you for choosing us, supporting a small business, bringing your families, meeting your friends, working from our tables, celebrating milestones with us, and making Peaceful Grounds feel like home. You gave us more than your business. You gave us memories we’ll carry with us forever.
For now, this part of our journey has come to an end. While it’s bittersweet to close this chapter, we’re choosing to be grateful for every person who was part of it.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
With love,
The Peaceful Grounds Coffee Company Family
