After 11 years of service, a central Pa. vegan and vegetarian cafe announced on Facebook that it will serve its final customers Saturday.

The Vegetable Hunter , located along Restaurant Row in Harrisburg, is closing.

“Every guest, every employee, every amazing and wonderfully weird moment has left a mark on this little vegan corner of the world,” the owners, Kristin Messner-Baker and her husband John Baker, posted on Facebook.

The restaurant began catering to a vegan audience under the name Crave & Co. in 2014 and soon expanded to include a second floor. It also opened a boutique brewery in 2017 , and shifted to 100 percent vegan sometime in 2019.

The restaurant branched out to Carlisle in 2021, but closed that location in 2023.

The Vegetable Hunter also had a location in Hershey
