Cafe Jonah and the Magical Attic, the Buckhead eatery owned by Atlanta restaurateur Jenny Levison , will close at the end of February after five years in business, according to a post on the restaurant's Facebook page.
Dear loyal guests,
It is with a very sad heart that I must tell you that Cafe Jonah And The Magical Attic will be closing at the end of February, 2016. Our landlord is not renewing our lease and intends to sell the property. I have been searching for the past year for a comparable space that we could call home, but have not found anything that holds the special quality that we have had here.
I opened Cafe Jonah five years ago as an ode to my Son, Jonah. It was to be a place where the community could come together over a great cup of coffee, delicious food and to explore our upstairs attic space which hosted my interest in the metaphysical.
From the beginning, my mission was to donate a percentage of our profits to local Atlanta organizations that needed our help and I am proud of our five years of success.
In the coming weeks, I hope you will stop by the Cafe, visit Sue in the kitchen and thank her for her delicious cooking. If you are a client of Sheila’s in the attic, head upstairs and hear about how you can find her and what the future holds.
I want to thank you for your support of this very special place and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly.
Jenny
Levison, who opened her first Souper Jenny restaurant with proceeds from her hand modeling gigs , donated 10 percent of Jonah's profits to non-profits selected by customers. Cafe Jonah opened under a pay-what-you-want model when it first opened, but eventually abandoned that system.
In other Levison news, the Buckhead location of Souper Jenny will get a new home at the Atlanta History Center in April 2016 .
