Closures

Copper Rose Bakery in Main Street Commons in Edmonds closed in early December. It is being replaced by the second location of  The Crumpet Shop (yes, the nearly famous place in Pike Place Market). What is a crumpet, you might ask? 

A crumpet is an English griddle cake and is made with simple ingredients: Flour, water and yeast. They are cooked in round rings on the griddle and are distinguished from other similar baked goods by their holes and spongy texture.

Garlic Jim’s on Edmonds Way (across from PCC) closed permanently. They have been at this location for almost 20 years, but a sign on the door says that the high cost of maintaining and repairing their pizza oven and other equipment is the reason for their closure. Thankfully, we have many wonderful pizza spots in our area.

Herfy’s Burger

Herfy’s Burger is under new management. Josh and Kate Kwon purchased the Westgate location about six months ago and opened after doing some much-needed renovations. You will find all of your favorite Herfy’s food options, but they have added some new items that reflect their Korean heritage. The Korean BBQ bulgogi burger is becoming a customer favorite.

Josh came to the U.S. to attend college and received a degree in accounting. He returned to South Korea and worked as a stockbroker. But after he married and had a child, he decided he wanted to return to the U.S.

Josh used to work at Shake N Go in Woodinville, and so he knows his way around a delicious burger. Josh and Kate hope that their new venture creates new memories for local families.

Location: 23029 100th Ave. W., Edmonds

Phone: 425-776-8811

Hours: Mondays–Saturdays 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. (last order at 8:10 p.m.)

Gyro Makers in Westgate (just across the street from Herfy’s) is putting the finishing touches on its new space and is awaiting final operating permits. I spoke to one of the owners who is originally from Uzbekistan, and he is excited to be bringing authentic Mediterranean cuisine to the area. There is another location in Renton and the Edmonds location will have a similar menu.  Opening date is to be determined.
