A civil lawsuit has been filed against 1889 Cake and Coffee Bar in Wichita Falls, alleging that a woman was injured while exiting the establishment in 2025. The lawsuit alleges that the ramp at the business is too steep and lacks a handrail. The damages are sought at over $250,000. In February 2026, legal counsel for the business denied all allegations brought against them in the lawsuit and requested a jury trial. If the parties fail to reach an agreement before the mediation deadline, the case will be placed on the trial docket for the first jury trial week of January 2027.
