Gigi\u2019s Cafe, a mainstay of Quadra Village has quietly closed its doors for good following an eviction due to noise complaints.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The small cafe at the corner of Hillside Avenue and Quadra Street has been in business since 2018. It officially closed on Saturday, May 23rd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to Michelle, former manager of Gigi\u2019s Cafe when it closed, the reason for the closure was an eviction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe received an eviction notice to vacate by end of May,\u201d she told Victoria Buzz.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis due to [sic] property management decision after neighbour complaints about sound disturbing them upstairs from our arts\u2019 events.\u201d<\/p>\n
The noise complaints were also the reason why for the last month, there have been no more music events in the space, including the cancellation of the weekly open mic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On Monday, May 25th, the owners of Gigi\u2019s made a post on their website to thank their customers for their patronage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for sharing this beautiful community with us over the years,\u201d wrote Gino, co-owner of Gigi\u2019s Cafe.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been such a pleasure to know you & a true honour to serve you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No announcement has been made as to what will take over the space, but some online speculate that a bakery will be moving in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The popular writers\u2019 open mic night held at Gigi\u2019s has been relocated and will take place at Camas Book Shop in Quadra Village henceforth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gigi\u2019s Cafe, a mainstay of Quadra Village has quietly closed its doors for good following an eviction due…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":694322,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48],"class_list":["post-694321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694321","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=694321"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/694321\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/694322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=694321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=694321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=694321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
