Dear Friends, Guests, and Patrons of Blue Bottle,
It’s the end of an era. After 19 incredible years, The Blue Bottle Cafe will close its doors on Saturday, April 19th. We are so grateful for all the memories we have helped create and share with each of you. In the meantime, we will continue to take reservations through the 19th, so be sure to book a spot and enjoy a last supper with us. Thank you for 19 amazing years; we couldn’t have done it without you.
\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSincerely,
\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRory, Aaron, and Team Blue!
