I had literally walked by and snapped this photo of Natura’s closing notice when I received an email linking to Eater LA’s coverage of the closure. Opened a bit over a year in the strip mall at West 3rd and Sweetzer, owner Jon Morkaya tells the blog “we’re on Third St, but not really visible right on the street. And parking is sometimes an issue. We may reopen, please email us if you want to hear when we find a new location.” While I never saw the place jam-packed, there did seem to be a steady clientele, but apparently, not steady enough.

Natura’s now quiet exterior…

    Each time a business on this street closes, it makes those of us that remain thankful, scared, and hopeful. I’m truly wishing them the best.

    Chrysta, BTW, tried the Pumpkin Spice mini bundt, really delicious :)

    I always thought they suffered from a bad location (like he said on Third, but not really ON Third) and a really bad name.

    Oh! Really Bad!

    Chrysta, I finally got some bundts yesterday. I had been meaning to support Kiss My Bundt but hadn’t done it. I read your comment over the weekend and knew I had to do it.

    My husband loved them and asked how late you stayed open because he wanted to get a box for a meeting he had today. It was after you closed though. So be sure we will return. Hope you make it.
