The Courtyard Café Closing Permanently

by Abigail Tippin | Nov 20, 2020
Lakeland bids farewell to The Courtyard Cafe after more than 50 years of service to team members and visitors.

As progress continues on the Lakeland Medical Center Pavilion, more changes to the St. Joseph campus are taking place. The Courtyard Café will close permanently on Thursday, November 26 at 12:30 a.m.

Also, the Atrium will have new hours to accommodate dining needs:

Thursday, November 26 to Thursday December 3:

7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (grab n go service: 6:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. daily)

Friday, December 4 and following:

7 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. daily

Once open positions are filled, service will expand to 3 a.m. daily. The Atrium has also obtained The Courtyard Cafe recipes and will be serving those bestsellers.

A convenient stop for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, The Courtyard Café has been appreciated for more than 50 years by the countless team members and visitors it served. It was known especially for delicious shakes, malts, and burgers, as well as providing comfort to families as they went through some of the most difficult times of their lives. The Auxiliary is grateful for the many successful years of the café and the support of all those who dined there.
