Does anyone remember The Forest Cafe in #Edinburgh ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Caf%C3%A9
It closed shop in 2022, precipitated by Covid. But if I remember rightly, it was also because of volunteer burnout (partly because of the social work they were also taking on), not making enough money, etc.
Just wondering if anyone knows of a post-mortem, or has more personal insights.
@douginamug I heard at the time it was that their landlord wanted to make more money out of the space.
@boggin I think that was the case at Bristo place, I can imagine it was the same in Tollcross. But I'm wondering what it was like on the inside...
@douginamug The Edinburgh subreddit might be a good place to ask, if you haven’t already. There’s also quite a popular Edinburgh Social Discord server where someone might know more.
