Heart’s Coffee Shop will be permanently closed on August 9.
“Everything built designed and run by humans is being erased. What an interesting time to be alive – we had to pay good money to see science fiction movies when I was a kid. Now all you have to do is walk around a few blocks lol,” another user wrote.
The diner’s menu is well-regarded for classic staples –– including chicken fried steak and eggs, Denver omelets, french toast and pancakes. Online reviews of the coffee shop boast about the quality of the home-cooked meals and the generous portion sizes.
Shakira Glover, a local guide on Google Maps, posted a review after her visit two months ago. “Cute, cash only diner with a parking lot. Very affordable. Friendly service. Food is very homey and filling. Good coffee. Would absolutely go again if I’m in the area,” Glover wrote.
Josh Rodarthe said he has been coming to the diner with his dad on Sundays for almost 20 years. “The food is great. The staff is excellent and they are all very kind and kid friendly I would give them 10 stars if I could,” Rodarthe wrote in his review.
