Coffee shop and record store in midtown Sacramento is closing. Here’s why — and when
A midtown Sacramento cafe known for its coffee drinks and vinyl record collection will close early next year.
Pressed Coffee and Records is closing its doors at 1725 L St. due to rent increases, the business owners said in a Dec. 22 Instagram post.
“Since early October (and after the second significant annual increase in rent in September), we have been in negotiations with our landlord to decrease our rent based on the fact that office workers have not returned to midtown (and) downtown,”the post read.
The cafe received a 30-day notice on Dec. 20 and officially shutter on Jan. 13.
“I am certain that this isn’t the end and you will see some more news on that soon,” the cafe’s owners said in the post.
