IRVING PARK — After just two years, Finom Coffee has closed its doors for good.
Finom, which means “delicious” in Hungarian, opened on the first floor of a 131-year-old building at 4200 W. Irving Park Rd. in 2018.
Eater reported on the closure last week, saying co-owners Rafael Esparza and Daniel Speer declined to renew their lease on the space, which was recently sold.
Details surrounding the sale were not immediately available.
“So the cat got out of the bag before I could make this post,” Esparza said in an Instagram post. “It’s been the best time of my life, met some of the best people I’ve ever known in the last two years and I wouldn’t change it for the world. We knew this was gonna happen and tried all we could to prevent it or at least delay it but in the end it is what it is.”
Esparza and Speer could not immediately be reached for comment.
The business featured coffee beans from Counter Culture Coffee, tea from Rare Tea Cellar Inc. and pastries from Spilt Milk in Oak Park, alongside small Hungarian dishes that were an homage to Speer’s Hungarian wife, the owners previously told Block Club.
The building Finom was housed in is the oldest “mercantile structure” in the Irving Park community, according to the report submitted to the city’s landmark commission in 1989.
Originally built in 1889 by Henry E. Nichols, it first operated as the the Nichols & Son Grocery and had second-floor living quarters which was typically occupied by the store’s owner.
