If it was so popular why didn't he pay the rent?

Fan-favorite California coffee shop dramatically evicted as landlord demands $200K

A popular San Francisco coffee shop owned by a tech founder has shuttered all of its locations after tenant disputes culminated with the owner being evicted and owing $200,000.

Outset Coffee, known for its Asian-inspired blend of coffees, matcha and fruit juices, got in hot water after owner Toby Sun, who co-founded Lime scooters, found himself in multiple battles over rent payments.

His business was evicted from its downtown location at 90 New Montgomery St. in August, according to court records first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
