As announced on its Facebook page, Cafe 640 in Poncey-Highland is closing Nov. 1:

To all our friends !! This will be cafés last week in business November 1st will be our last day. We want to thank all our loyal fans, it's been a great pleasure to serve you all. We are calling this week our "end of days week" so come by and say hellooo! We'll have drink, food specials all week and thru the weekend! !!

Once known as Cafe Del Sol, and popular for it's lively front patio and Wine Wednesday promotions, the coffeehouse-style bar and restaurant also was the go-to brunch, dinner and late night spot for guests at the equally boho Highland Inn   next door.

No word, yet, on what may be coming next.
