Tri-County Health Department says C&C Coffee and Kitchen must close until it complies with governor’s order

The Tri-County Health Department on Monday ordered a Castle Rock restaurant that opened to Mother’s Day crowds Sunday to close until it complies with the statewide COVID-19 public health order limiting dining establishments to take-out and delivery services.

Tri-County said it warned C&C Coffee and Kitchen on Friday not to open for Mother’s Day, but the restaurant opened for dine-in services anyway, according to a statement from the department.

“If the restaurant refuses to follow Governor Jared Polis’ public health order, further legal action will be taken that could include revocation of the restaurant’s license,” the statement said.

The restaurant quickly filled up after it opened Sunday, with customers at all the tables and on a patio, and forming a line outside the door. Owner April Arellano has not responded to multiple requests for comment from The Denver Post, but said on her Facebook page that she “would go out of business if I don’t do something,” and said “if I lose the business at least I am fighting.”

The health department received four complaints about the restaurant, a spokeswoman said.

Update: Gov. Jared Polis’ administration has also suspended the restaurant’s license indefinitely.

1. So put the owners and customers in FEMA Camps.

I know they exist because my neighbor insisted for 6 years that Obama had built thousands of them all over the country. She never could tell me who was going to be sent to them but it seemed to have something to do with gun owners.

3. OMG! Thanks for the belly laugh. 😂😂😂

11. Oh yes, I've heard that too

It is amazing that in all that time the government never used all those FEMA Camps. Must mean there is a huge purge coming. I hear it will be for people who refuse to have the COVID-19 vaccine, when it becomes available. I believe the vaccine is actually a chip that allows the government to track you. People who resist will have all their possessions and property confiscated, then sent to a FEMA Camp.

I don't know the source for this information, but it is my understanding that it is a credible one! Yet another excuse.......er reason to stockpile guns and ammunition.


In all seriousness though, the person who said this stuff used to be a very rational, intelligent man. The conspiracy theories are almost as contagious as COVID-19 and just as dangerous.

2. This quote from the article stands out for me:

Owner April Arellano has not responded to multiple requests for comment from The Denver Post, but said on her Facebook page that she “would go out of business if I don’t do something,” and said “I may lose the business but at least I can do my best to sicken and kill some folks before that happens.”

5. That is false; it is NOT a quote from the article.

15. They must have put them in another room. (yeah right)

Everyone in that room, except the children, is an idiot.

4. Give Mom a Mother's Day she'll never forget.

10. If she survives

6. They should fine the restaurant with ALL the proceeds she made that day.

Because apparently making money was more important than keeping people safe.

[Cha]

7. Did she think no one would notice that she

broke the law?

I grew up in Denver and remember my friends and I took a bicycle ride to Castle Rock when we were in Jr High.

8. Castle Rock restaurant that defied coronavirus public health order

with close forever once the covid-19 is given to his customers;i give it two weeks ,i know it's closed now,but forever C&C Coffee and Kitchen dream.i hope they are happy with law suits and Bad Reputation.

9. Wrongful death lawsuits

Indeed, they better hope nobody dies from their little experiment. I can easily imagine the very valid legal arguments for gross negligence resulting in death.

13. "...at least I'm fighting." At the risk of everyone's health and life. Selfish asshat.

[Yavin4]

17. All area hospitals should refuse care to anyone in that restaurant.

Why should healthcare workers and their families put their lives at risk because some yahoo just had to go out to eat.

[justgamma]

18. Idiots!

Around here people line up around the block for take out orders. This whole town is trying to keep our restaurants open.

[tavernier]

20. I try to buy something from different local restaurant

every few days and so do others I’ve talked to.

[world wide wally]

19. Castle Rock is a haven for rednecks anyway

[gldstwmn]

23. They are done.

Unfortunately someone started a Go Fund Me, people are trying to get that shut down. Some of the patrons had guns. Wack.
