NORTH STAFFORD, Va. — A popular live music venue and cafe in North Stafford will once again close its doors.
Bella Cafe on U.S. 1 in Boswell’s Corner, near Quantico Corporate Center, will close by July 20, according to a post on its Facebook page.
A spokesman for the restaurant was not available for comment this morning.
Half of the building will be demolished and converted into a car lot.
“With the diminished seating and parking available to us, we felt it better to preserve the integrity of Bella and move on from this spot,” according to a statement.
The restaurant will sell its tables and chairs, as well as memorabilia from the its closing location to raise funds for a new location.
The renovation of the still developing Aquia Town Center played a roll in the restaurant moving out of that shopping center to their current location in Boswell’s Corner about six to seven years ago. It appears they are eager to move again.
“There are bigger and better things in store for Bella. So this is not a “farewell,” but an “until next time!” the statement included.
The coffee shop is popular with musicians and singers in the area who often host live performances on Bella’s cozy stage. Also a cafe, sandwiches, soup, and ice cream is also served at the cafe.
