Popular High St. restaurant closing after nearly two decades; fast-growing chain opening ‘first of its kind’ cafe there

A longstanding campus eatery known for delicious noodles and authentic Korean cuisine is closing their doors, but another concept is moving right in.

Diaspora, located at 2118 N. High St. since 2007, told 614Now that their last days of serving Bibimbap and ramen will be next Thursday, July 3. The restaurant has been a go-to spot for decades. There’s a possibility they could be opening a new restaurant elsewhere.

The fast-growing coffee chain is known for their exceptionally friendly service and their 20,000+ flavor combinations.
