An Iowa City coffee shop will soon be gone, but not forgotten, as two of its former employees plan to open a new coffee shop in its place.

Dash Coffee Roasters on the corner of Bloomington and Linn Streets will close its doors next Saturday. Owner Rebecca Weinbrenner told the Press-Citizen she’s “downsizing” after two years in business to concentrate on Dash’s original Cedar Rapids location.

But the retail space that hosts Dash will still be serving coffee. Two former Dash Iowa City employees, Haley Kesterson and Tucker Shepard, wrote on Instagram that they will be opening Tru Coffee in the same North Linn Street location on June 1^st.
