Cafe Hon To Close After 30 Years, But HONfest Will Continue On, Owner Says

Cafe Hon, the Hampden mainstay known for its comfort food, embrace of the city’s mid-century blue-collar women, and the iconic pink flamingo on the building’s façade, is closing after three decades in business, owner Denise Whiting announced. “It’s been a wild ride for 30 years and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this community and be a part of Baltimore and, you know, it’s… it’s a lot,” Whiting told WJZ.
