Daily News | Passero’s coffee stand, a fixture at Suburban Station for three decades, will close Thursday
stand at SEPTA’s Suburban Station, whose espresso machine was somewhat of a novelty in Philadelphia at its opening in January 1991, will close after business Thursday.
Suburban Station, which serves as Comcast headquarters, was the busiest Passero’s before March 2020. It reopened a year and a half ago, and “we’ve been waiting month to month, going, ‘Well, they’ll be coming back.’ And even when Comcast came back [three days a week], we’re probably a third, at most, of where we used to be. That’s unsustainable, and that’s still an improvement over the summer.”A SEPTA spokesperson said the agency was sad to see Passero’s go.
“We always did really well with the Comcast people, even though they had plenty of options,” Lincoln said. “Fewer people are coming through the station. Not only are people not working five days a week, but I think the people who are coming in two days a week or even three days a week are deciding to drive.”
Meanwhile, the Wawa location on Arch Street across from the Comcast Center is closed till February for renovations, and the Corner Bakery at 17th Street and JFK Boulevard recently closed permanently. Classic Cake’s retail shop and cafe, on Suburban Station’s street level on JFK Boulevard, has been closed for two years.
