Jan. 28, 2026 – Redmond, Wash. Sano, a health-focused cafe and juice bar in downtown Redmond, temporarily shuts down its doors amid reports of unpaid rent and financial strain, affecting staff and regular customers.
The restaurant, known for its organic smoothies, bowls, and salads, was inaccessible on Thursday at its usual location (7841 Leary Wy, Redmond, WA 98052, United States).
A community member posting in a local online forum reported the cafe was closed and indicated it may remain shuttered through at least early March.
According to the social post, which has circulated among Redmond residents, Sano’s doors were locked without prior notice to many, prompting confusion and concern among visitors who regularly frequented the business for morning and lunchtime meals.
As of now, the cafe’s owner and other officials have not disclosed why the business has been shut down or when it will reopen.
With this uncertainty, many Redmond residents who were loyal to Sano are now without their regular daily meal option.
