Dear Bellefonte Community,
As we all know, every journey has its end. After much consideration and with a heavy heart, we’ve come to the difficult decision to close our Bellefonte location. Our last day of operation will be December 22, 2024.
Since opening, this community has embraced us with warmth and enthusiasm. Whether you stopped by for your favorite bun, a cup of coffee, or to enjoy the cozy space, you’ve made this experience truly special.
This decision was not made lightly. While we’ve enjoyed serving Bellefonte, it’s become clear that closing this chapter will allow us to focus on the sustainability and growth of Chew Chew Bun as a whole.
For now, this is goodbye. However, as with any journey, the future is full of possibilities. While we do not have plans to reopen now, we will cherish the enjoyable memories and connections we’ve made here.
To express our gratitude for your support, the Bellefonte location will offer 50% off all menu drinks all day on December 22. This is our way of thanking you for being part of our journey.
Your presence and support have been invaluable, and you will always hold a special place in the heart of Chew Chew Bun.
With sincere gratitude,
Chew Chew Bun
