After a little more than a year on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Fifth Street, L Station Cafe & Bar has closed its doors at 500 N. Fourth Ave. #1.
All has been quiet on social media for L Station — the last post was on Wednesday, December 29 — but Romano Real Estate confirmed that the restaurant has officially closed and the space is now available for rent.
The restaurant’s owners could not be reached by phone for comment.
L Station Cafe & Bar opened its doors in December 2020, serving breakfast dishes, handhelds like burgers and chicken sandwiches, and plenty to sip on like coffee, beer, and cocktails.
Before the restaurant took over the spot, Chocolate Iguana was the familiar face on the corner before moving down the street at 413 N. Fourth Ave. in 2018.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
