Moon Cafe, on S. State between Hill and Packard, closed at the end of February, according to an Instagram announcement expressing gratitude to its student-heavy customer base.

Moon-Seok Choe and wife Seung-Yoon Choe, who owned and operated the café in recent years, could not be reached for comment. But the longtime landlord for the two-story house, Dennis Loy, emails that businesses on the block have suffered since on-street parking was replaced by bike lanes in 2023. It took him years to sign new tenants for the vacant storefronts on either side of Moon Cafe.
