Comments on: Brasil Coffee House on Vernon Blvd has closed for business. http://www.liqcity.com/local-biz/brasil-coffee-house-on-vernon-blvd-has-closed-for-business A Blog About Life and Real Estate in Long Island City, Queens, NYC Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:16:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Jorgen http://www.liqcity.com/local-biz/brasil-coffee-house-on-vernon-blvd-has-closed-for-business/comment-page-2#comment-22253 Jorgen Sat, 05 Jun 2010 16:17:45 +0000 http://www.liqcity.com/?p=4380#comment-22253 I know the owner of Brasil Coffee House. The reason it closed was two fold. The first was that the neighborhood lost alot of financial professionals, due to the crisis. So, alot of people left the neighborhood. But more significantly, the landlord wanted to raise the rent. So, more expense on one hand and a smaller, more frugal client base on the other, led the the closing of BCH.

Please ask me what you want. I also love how everybody assumes that the rent was doubling and what not. Please do the math, the lease was not up yet as they opened about 8 years ago. That means they had 2 more years. What does that mean? Thats right, somebody didn't pay there rent for 8 months and got evicted. And no it is not going to be a fast food chain. :) I am the owner.

I think the family has a eye and a heart out for the neighborhood. The rent is cheap compared to everything else on Vernon. It is a place where something other than a restaurant could stand a chance because the rent is reasonable. I second about Art-o-Mat. I think the family has a eye and a heart out for the neighborhood.

And it was in the Purple Pumpkin space! It was run so effectively with the self serve aspect to the coffee. Like 12 choices of coffee! The muffin smells were wonderful! They just drew you in. The service was amazing considering how we would all bustle in there and chat and check in and socialize. It was one of my all time favorite business in LIC. Anybody remember the mozzarella maker in the Nest Seekers space? I just don't understand why we have to be so posh! Ron and Inez cleaned up! The only closed because Silvercup enticed them to set up shop based on a full studio...and then changed there minds. So they overextend themselves based on a promised # of customers. A good lesson to "get it in writing" . The cash register went ching all day long, Inez never got a break. I just don't get why we have to be so posh now. They had great product, were great people and it was totally affordable. Gosh Inez and Ron were the best. And it was in the Purple Pumpkin space!
