Lavender Cafe in West Newton is shutting its doors for good this weekend, just months after opening. The team behind the cafe and NaisLee Catering shared that they’ve faced challenges too big to overcome, making it impossible to keep going. It’s a tough blow for locals who were just getting to know their Venezuelan-inspired menu. With their last day now set for August 31, it’s a reminder of how tough it is for small businesses to survive. How do you think these closures affect our neighborhood vibe and food scene? #Food #WestNewton #SmallBusiness
