Rosella Coffee, at 203 East Jones, has closed, according to people familiar with the operation.
The spot, located at 203 E. Jones, closed its doors in early January, citing rising COVID-19 cases, and it's since been inactive on social media. Several past employees and vendors, however, tell the Current that the spot has been shuttered. They did not wish to be identified as spokespeople of the spot.
After the initial success of its first store, the business opened others around the city, including one in the Rand Building downtown and at the San Antonio Botanical Garden. Tiny Rosella Express locations followed inside some H-E-B stores.
Closures of those freestanding operations followed, although the company still operates kiosks inside Methodist Hospital in the Medical Center and Northeast Methodist Hospital on in Northeast San Antonio.
When the chain's Jones Street location launched, it featured Cuvee Coffee, along with Texas beers and wines and a small-bites menu curated by Tim McDiarmid of Tim the Girl catering.
Last July, the shop reconfigured, debuting a dedicated wine bar and extending its evening hours to accommodate imbibers. It stopped serving coffee in the evening, however, and closed for part of the afternoon.
