A Five Points coffee and breakfast locale is closing early next month after 10 years of serving the neighborhood.
Port Side opened at 2500 Larimer St. in 2016. Its owner, chef Chris Bell, announced on social media last weekend he would not be renewing the lease on the space and would “go out on my terms, on top, in a good place.”
“It’s because of our customers and people that we made this thing survive 10 years,” Bell said in a post on the shop’s Instagram account, without diving into the reasons behind his decision. “We overcame a lot.”
Port Side’s last day of business is Sunday, July 5, according to the shop’s announcement. It is open Wednesdays through Sundays.
Bell, meanwhile, said he will “be popping up around town slinging [bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches]” once he takes a break. “Until then know that I am happy with this decision but will miss serving you every week.”
