Cocoa Michelle — the downtown location, that is — is closing. Its last day is tomorrow (Friday).
The coffee-and-chocolates shop has many fans — though not enough, apparently.
Perhaps one of the reasons for its demise is this:
A while ago, I wanted a non-Starbucks place for an early morning meeting with a friend. He works near downtown, so Cocoa Michelle seemed like an obvious (okay, the only) choice. We planned to meet there at 8 a.m.
It wasn’t open.
We went to Starbucks instead — and spent our walk over wondering how and why a coffee place is not open at 8.
