All the diner's + bakeries that I loved going to are disappearing - Coco's, Hickory Pit, Marie Callender's. Tastes change, I guess, but I sure did enjoy a good hearty breakfast with a slice of a fresh pie on a lazy Saturday morning at these places.

many decades ago there was a nice Coco’s in Boulder ... long gone now of course ... we were visiting Phoenix a few years ago and saw a Coco’s and got all excited ... unfortunately, HORRIBLE food, HORRIBLE service, HORRIBLE everything ...

It’s definitely a tough business to be in. I’m glad the diners in my little town seem to be hanging in there.

Whenever I return to Fort Lauderdale, I always try to make a stop at Lester’s Diner. It’s one of the few things still there since I lived there back in the 70s.

We had a Cocos in KC. Loved it.

The article was a good read, a charming story, but they never did elaborate exactly why this eatery is closing.
I’ll just assume the manager was ready to let go of the struggles just to stay open.

No mention of why they were closing? Sounds like they had a good regular crowd.
Taxes? Regulations?

“Coco’s” — wow, I haven’t heard of that place in decades. The last one vacated Silicon Valley maybe 20 years ago. I didn’t know there were any left.
My wife was a waitress at a Coco’s way back in high school in the late 60s. I think that was her first job.

The older you get, the more classic restaurants that “everyone” loved disappear. I have four or five in my area that I used to love that are gone. Its a rough business and very, very few restaraunts, bakeries, etc. survive long term.
