Although we have the right under our lease to renew and stay here at the Piazza Farnese for another 10 years, our landlord, Dr. Joseph Farnese, is trying to deny us this right. We are unclear as to the landlord’s motivation for wanting us out. The reasons he is using are illegitimate and not reasons to evict a paying tenant. We believe that these reasons will not hold up in a court, and with the help of our lawyer, we are prepared to fight to stay at our current location in Little Falls where our roots are firmly planted. We are saddened by the fact that the landlord would want to eliminate what we worked so hard to create. It has become the place for the community to gather and take part in all that we provide which goes well beyond great coffee and food. We have created a unique establishment that our customers have made part of their daily routine. We love this town and appreciate the support of our customers over the past 8 years. Our plan is to be here for many years to come. Hopefully our right to stay will be upheld in Court on August 29th @ 8:45 A.M. Sincerely, Rhonda & Jon Mallek

This place is a staple in Little Falls. Cant believe the landlord is trying to pull this move after 8 years. Good luck in court!

So sad to hear this. I go here every single morning before work. This is totally unfair to Rhonda and Jon.

The landlord is being greedy. Fine Grind has been a great addition to the neighborhood and we need to keep it.
