Last Mile Cafe Closing Hall Street, Staying at HUB 07
Last Mile Cafe is shuttering its original Hall Street storefront but will continue operating from its HUB 07 location and at the Fulton Street Farmers Market.
After financial sustainability challenges and a founder's move, Last Mile Cafe is closing its Hall Street location. The cafe will remain open at HUB 07 and serve at the Fulton Street Farmers Market. Customers are encouraged to visit the HUB 07 spot.
Last Mile Cafe is closing its original storefront at 1006 Hall St. SE, with the last day set for Friday, July 30, 2026. Founded by Arick Davis and Sarah Lahman, the Black- and woman-owned cafe has been a staple for coffee and community on Hall Street. It's a bittersweet moment for locals who've enjoyed the Hall Street ambiance.
The closure comes after challenges in maintaining two locations and founder Arick Davis no longer living full-time in Grand Rapids. Financial sustainability issues led to this tough call, but the HUB 07 location remains open and thriving. This community center spot will now be the cafe's primary home for daily operations.
