ORLANDO, Fla. – For nearly two decades Pom Pom’s Teahouse & Sandwicheria has been a staple in the Milk District community, but now the business is shuttering for good.

The owner, Pom Moongauklang, made the announcement on social media Monday morning.

“No Rollercoaster in the world has as much ups, downs, excitement, and pivots as having a small business. It is with the greatest GRATITUDE that, unfortunately, I willl no longer continue my BELOVED POM POMS CONCEPT,” the post read.

According to the post, the last day of business for Pom Pom’s, 67 N. Bumby Ave., will be on Friday, Oct. 4.

Moongauklang did not offer a reason for the closing.

The restaurant has seen its share of struggles in recent years. In May 2023, Moongauklang took to social media to call for community support. At the time, she said that recovery from the pandemic had been difficult for her business.

Moongauklang said she will not be leaving the Orlando dining scene and plans to open a new concept soon, but did not elaborate as to when and where that will be.

She ended the post by expressing gratitude for her customers.

“It is with LOVE I say thank you for giving me the opportunity to have served, well over ONE MILLION sandwiches,” the post read.
