Acadiana Coffee Shop Announces Sudden Closure After 6 Years

In May 2024, Coffee Dash announced it would be closing its Lafayette location at 1517 Ambassador Caffery Parkway. Fans of the welcoming coffee shop were saddened by the news but were able to still get their fix at their original location in Maurice.

Almost a year later, on Friday, Coffee Dash announced the heartbreaking news that they would be closing their Maurice location this month, saying, "I'm so sorry I can't say goodbye in person. I hope you know how thankful I am for the kindness and support y’all have shown Coffee Dash." Their last day of operation will be March 9th.

Their Maurice location was attached to Village Deaux, a locally owned doughnut and kolaches spot, making it a one-stop shop for morning breakfast runs.
