Lisco's (Jamesburg) - closed?

Lisco's Country Cafe, after a long holiday vacation, seems to be closed; windows papered over, realty sign outside.

Anyone know what happened? It was never very busy, but it didn't seem to be on the verge of closing.

If it is as it seems, it is sad; this was a cool place to have a nice, affordable breakfast (or lunch).

I'm no expert, but I've tried a handful of the Edison places and keep going back to Edison Noodle House.

Regarding the not smiling issue - I feel a tension in the air every time I go in there. I get the impression they're new at this kind of business, and not sure how to act around customers (which may make them seem a bit too serious). The other impression I get is that they know they're circling the bowl - again, that's just my impression, but I think they focused on too much of a niche product to generate enough business, there's a much more prominent coffee place on the corner, and this place is tucked off to the side and easy to miss. It's kind of sad, really, because I believe in patronizing small local businesses, and this one seems to have the deck stacked against it from the start.

I've tried about a dozen different cupcakes and they are all good. There are no sugar-free or sugar substitute options - it seems to be part of their mission statement to only use 'real' ingredients (see their website www.sugarandsunshinebakery.com). If they had some sucralose options I would stop by more often, but that's just me. Too much sugar and I get a headache.

I hope they make it, but if you're thinking of trying them out, go sooner than later.
