Lil Buddha is permanently closed

Posted on the Lil Buddha Facebook page:

With heavy hearts…Lil’ Buddha Tea Co. has closed for good! It was open for 5 years, we were the 1st & only 100% vegan cafe for years in the capital of New York! Thanks to YOU many lives have changed and been spared by consuming enlightened food & drinks! THANK YOU!!! Namaste, I love you all! — feeling blessed.

It always sucks to see a business go, especially an all vegan one, but I wasn’t surprised when I heard the news. Strange hours, no food on weekends, and never knowing if they’re randomly only serving liquids that day were always frustrating as someone who loved the place.

I hope The Brakes buys their blender and juicer and keeps fresh juice and smoothies alive on Lark Street.
