What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

CoraFaye's Cafe served down-home Southern soul food from a small, counter-style cafe. The restaurant specialized in scratch-made Southern comfort dishes and operated as a family-run establishment. A City and County of Denver retail food establishment license, filed in 2014, listed CoraFaye's Cafe at 2861 North Colorado Boulevard in Denver, according to OpenGovUS public records. According to Triple D Life, the business had planned to relocate its East Colfax Avenue location during the summer of 2016 before permanently closing that year. Census Bureau geocoding of the East Colfax Avenue address places that property in Aurora, Colorado, rather than Denver, the city listed for the original television episode segment. No dated, named source confirms a currently operating CoraFaye's Cafe location in either Denver or Aurora.
