Beloved patisserie Luna to shut doors at year-end

Luna, a well-regarded patisserie, will cease operations at the end of the year as rising costs take their toll on the business. The announcement was made public through a social media post on Monday, September 28.

The closure marks the end of operations for the establishment, which has built a following among customers in the region. The decision to wind down by December 31 gives the business a final three-month window of operation.

The patisserie's decision reflects broader challenges facing food and beverage establishments across South and Southeast Asia, where operators have grappled with elevated input costs, labour expenses, and rental pressures in recent years. Many hospitality businesses have reassessed their operational viability in light of these mounting financial headwinds.

Luna's closure adds to a growing list of dining establishments that have shuttered operations in response to economic pressures. The business had established itself as a destination for quality baked goods and pastries prior to the announcement.
