UPDATE (Oct. 3, 2018): Darius Williams To Open Soul Crab, The Seafood Version of Greens and Gravy
Radial Cafe in College Park closed for good after dinner service Tuesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Friday first reported.
The restaurant—in business for less than a year—announced the news in an email and on its social media.
“We are heartbroken to inform you that Radial Cafe-College Park has ceased operations after the close of business on Wednesday, May 30, 2018,” according to the announcement.
“This decision did not come easily and we are sorry that we can no longer offer service in College Park.”
The original Radial Cafe in Candler Park will remain fully operational.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued loyalty in choosing us as your preferred local-to-table dining destination. Without your support, our success would not have been possible.”
No word on what will open in the restaurant’s place.

An English teacher– really?
Hookah is a magnet for crime – condolences to the homeowners in this area.
^News to me. I’m looking forward to visiting this place.
Come to Pharr Road in Buckhead any night of the week and you’ll change your mind…
2 killed outside of Monaco.
5 “KILLED” at the Nations Capitol!!!
Tragic.
However we’re talking about hookah lounges here, not domestic terrorist attacks.
So there is a moratorium on development in grove park unless its a hookah bar??
I don’t think an already existing warehouse is considered ‘development.’
So let me get this correct. In a community that is the definition of a food desert with no grocery stores, no pharmacy, no place where you can get fresh produce daily, a hookah bar was the more pressing need in his opinion?
Because nothing screams louder “this is for the community” than a overpriced bottle of Ace of Spades champagne and hookah.
The fact this the owner is even trying to make this seem as if it’s a positive for the community is equally insulting.
Well sure, Donald Lee Hollowell west of the Bankhead station is a bit deserted (I lost count of the chop shops driving there one afternoon), but this particular intersection is quite lively. Also, the presence of a fire station next door and an APD precinct not too far away will help keep things safe, wouldn’t you say ?
