Carlos Sanchez, known for his role as Juan Valdez.

Juan Valdez closed its last remaining cafe in Seattle on July 31. Macy's, which is adjacent to the location and was the cafe's landlord, is "still working on what we're going to put in the space," said spokeswoman Betsy Nelson. Officials from Juan Valdez did not return calls.


Its other Seattle location near the Red Lion Hotel in downtown Seattle closed three years ago. They were owned by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, which used them to promote their coffees.

According to Juan Valdez's U.S. cafe web site, it still operates stores in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., a couple airports and "select Wal-Mart and Kroger stores nationwide." But the site says its Seattle cafe is still open, too
