Coffee Buddha Closing In Ross

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA - After nearly nine years, Coffee Buddha on Perry Highway is closing. The coffee shop and espresso bar's last day of business is Feb. 29.

A lot of thought and effort went into every aspect of Coffee Buddha and while I was the face of it, it took a village to create it," owner Michael Witherel wrote in a Facebook post. "My amazing staff over the years, the businesses that worked with us, my family, my friends,and my wonderful customers. I have been humbled and honored so much in the past 9 years, I’m a lucky

man.

"Coffee Buddha was for the community, and regardless of its closure, it was a success. A lot of memories were made here. I’ve made life-long connections and best friends. Coffee Buddha is the reason I met and married the love of my life. And you know what the greatest part is? Other people can say the same thing."

It's unclear what might move into the Coffee Buddha space.
