Misfit Coffee at 2401 Lyndale Ave. is closing at the end of September, per an Instagram post.
Here is an article from the Southwest Journal when Misfit opened in 2018. Urban Bean and the original Muddy Waters also operated in the space. “The whole purpose is to make it more social and bring more energy into it,” said founder Marcus Parkansky, regarding Misfit's opening.
Misfit's neighbor, Rock, Paper, Scissor Goods, closed its shop on September 18.
In a Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal article from January, Misfit requested "a rezoning for the property at 207 Humboldt Ave. N., as well as an adjacent vacant lot, and seeking a restaurant and liquor license." That location is on the other side of Bassett Creek from Bryn Mawr Meadows Park. We'll keep you posted when we know more about their plans.

Bad news for BBQ fans. Q Fanatic BBQ at 60th & Nicollet has closed because of staffing issues. Their Champlin location will stay open.
They had several student workers over the summer and couldn't replace them when school went back, so they have had to consolidate around one location. They had been temporarily closed earlier this summer because of the same issues hiring and retaining staff members.
