Now closed: My Big Fat Greek Restaurant & Corner Bakery Cafe in downtown Tempe

There’s a double whammy of closures in downtown Tempe this week.

My Big Fat Greek Restaurant, a Valley-born concept that’s had plenty of ups and downs over its 11-plus years on Mill Avenue, has closed. It was the last remaining location of the once-fast-growing Mediterranean fast-casual chain.

A couple of blocks north on Mill, the Corner Bakery Cafe also has closed. The Dallas-based chain, similar to Wildflower Bread Co. and Paradise Bakery, opened in September 2015. It also closed locations in north Scottsdale and near the Biltmore in Phoenix this week.
