CINCINNATI — Sitwell's Coffee House, a Cincinnati staple of over 20 years, was broken into over the weekend, according to police.
Cincinnati police said a suspect entered the building by throwing a brick through the glass door. The suspect then took money out of the cash register, police said.
"Sitwell's was broken into last night and our beloved window was smashed," a social media post from the restaurant said.
The post said the window was one of the last "large-scale hand-painted works of art" by artist Justin Green before he passed away in 2022.
"We were in the process of working with area museums to donate this historic work of art when this tragedy occurred," the post said.
The restaurant also said it will still donate a portion of this week's sales to Beaver's Mini Mart, a Beavercreek convenience store that is being sued by Texas-based chain Buc-ee's over its masoct.
Another social media post on Monday from the restaurant said they are "overwhelmed by and grateful for" the support from the community.
Cincinnati police said no arrests have been made and there is no suspect information at this time.
