Suzanne Drexhage and Samuel Sobolewski announced the closing of Bartavelle, which has been a beloved Berkeley cafe since 2012, citing increasing operational challenges post-pandemic.
In the Instagram post, Sobolewski expressed that even busy restaurants often operate on razor-thin margins, and conditions have worsened dramatically since the pandemic.
Marykate McGoldrick reflected on the emotional significance of Bartavelle in her life, showcasing the cafe's role in supporting her baking journey over the years.
Drehage and Sobolewski's GoFundMe aims to raise $85,000 to cover debts and payroll, with hopes to find a significant investor for the cafe.
