Rail Cafe & Market and Cone + Crumb, located at 3400 Nancy St., Westfield, will close their doors for the last time today, Jan. 13. The announcement follows an expansion of hours to include dinner service less than a month ago.
In a statement, the owners shared that their last day of cafe and dinner service will be on Friday, Jan. 12, with the market remaining open on Saturday, Jan. 13, from 9 a.m. until sold out. Due to an overwhelming number of orders, they will no longer accept online orders, and customers are encouraged to call for carry-out orders, though wait times may be longer.
The closure marks the end of a decade-long journey for Rail & Cone + Crumb, during which they express pride in the growth of their establishment. Looking ahead, the owners reflect on the constant demands of the restaurant business and the need to reset their priorities, redirecting their energy towards family and personal well-being.
As the owners bid farewell to the community they served for the past 10 years, they express gratitude for the support and acknowledge the difficulty of the decision. They highlight the honor of working with a dedicated team and building lasting connections within the industry.
The closure comes as a surprising turn for fans who witnessed the reopening of Rail Cafe & Market by Melanie and Toby Miles in the summer of 2022, following the closure of their previous venture in October 2020. The new establishment aimed to provide practical perks, including a larger kitchen, with a cafe-style breakfast and lunch service on one side and a gourmet market on the other.
Rail & Cone + Crumb will officially lock its doors on Saturday, Jan. 13, concluding a chapter in the owners’ journey and leaving behind memories of a beloved community spot.

As we enter the new year and take a look back at the last 10 years of Rail & Cone + Crumb we couldn’t be prouder of our little market becoming what it is today.
As we look to the past, it also makes us look to our future. Not only what our business looks like, but looking ahead to what we want the next 10 years to look like in our family. Those who know business, especially restaurants, know the constant demands and what it’s like to devote yourself fully to it. While we have devoted countless hours to our business, it’s time we reset and devote that same energy into family and personal well being.
Next week will be our last week with you all. Rail & Cone + Crumb will lock its doors for the last time on Saturday, January 13th.
It has been our honor to serve such an amazing community for the last 10 years and to work with the best team in the industry. We’ve met some amazing people and forged some bonds that will last a lifetime. This was an incredibly hard decision for us but we believe it’s the right one for us and our family. We thank you and our team for a great decade!
We will post more later with details and hours for next week.
