After a decade and a half on Lyndale Avenue, Common Roots Cafe has closed its doors.
Owner Danny Schwartzman announced the closure in an email to customers Wednesday evening.
“I started this business with a dream and was naive enough to not fully realize how utterly impractical it was,” wrote Schwartzman, who opened the cafe, at 2558 Lyndale Av. S., when he was 25.
