Beth's Café in Seattle reopens after extended closure

A popular Seattle diner reopened Wednesday after being closed for more than a year.
Beth's Café along Aurora Avenue near Green Lake announced the reopening on Facebook.
"Thank you for all the love and support, we hope to see you soon!!" the post concludes.
The café is open Wednesday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
According to the Facebook post, the owners have implemented contactless orders and payment transactions.
Beth's Café closed after Labor Day in 2021. Owners said it was a temporary closure, though it was unclear how long the closure would last. That closure came about two months after the café reopened following an initial shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Owners of the café said in a previous Facebook post that modified hours and the pandemic were likely to blame for the lack of business at the time.
Some current and former employees told KING 5 at the time of the closure they were skeptical the café would reopen.
Beth Eisenstadt founded the eponymous diner in 1954 with her husband Harold, originally using the space as a nickel slots gambling parlor.
Since then, the famous diner has been featured on Travel Channel’s “Man vs. Food,” “World’s Best Places to Pig Out” and Food Network’s “Top 5 Big Breakfasts.”
Beth's Cafe is known for its massive 12-egg omelets and iconic décor.

I miss the Nesbitt's sign, though... my late Uncle Fred worked for Quench-Nesbitt's on Elliott Avenue for many years.

It is not good journalism to leave out WHERE.

IDK.. Beth's is such an institution, they pro'ly assume if you're watch this, it's b/c you know Beth's. If you don't know Beth's, none of this would have much relevance any way.🤷‍♀️

Where is the art? We used to cover the walls with drawing we did frying on acid, while waiting to split our 12 egg omelet at 3 am.
