Cafe Cesura, a locally owned coffee shop, has closed, as confirmed by a realtor at Kidder Mathews. It was located in the Ashton Apartment Tower at 1015 108th Avenue Northeast, just steps from KidsQuest Children’s Museum.
According to King County records, Cafe Cesura closed on October 17, 2024. The facility continued to operate despite receiving a temporary closure order, requiring it to remain closed until overdue fees were paid.
We contacted the owner, Shawn Nickerson, for comment but did not receive a response.
The coffee shop opened its doors in November 2011, inspired by the espresso culture of Paris. At that time, it partnered with Stumptown Coffee Roasters to bring its vision to life.
In 2022, Cafe Cesura opened a second location at The Watermark at Bellevue, but it closed after just a couple of years. In addition to coffee, the shop offered sandwiches and pastries, before The Watermark at Bellevue took ownership of the business.
