Hey, Wicker Park residents: if you haven't been able to get your Cold Comfort fix in recent days, that's because the venerable cafe and deli quietly ceased operations last Thursday.

The outgoing message from owner Ron Barrett said that he decided to call it a day after nine years of business "proudly serving the community." We've placed a call to Barrett for comment and further explanation; i and when he returns the call we'll update.
