The MTA ordered Winfield to shut down on Aug. 18, about six weeks after the Rye location had opened.  
The MTA revoked earlier “conditional determination letters” that would have renewed Winfield's lease to operate a cafe at the Croton Metro-North station and open a new operation at the Harrison station.
Inspections by health officials and the MTA, which owns the space, uncovered an unapproved electric range and tabletop fryer. 
The new coffee shop announced on Instagram that it would be temporarily closed as they “wrap up the last steps” in their buildout. 
The Rye iteration will be more than a coffee shop — there is also a bar, which will become operational once Winfield obtains its liquor license. 
Initially, the plan was to open at the Rye train station in the summer, but Breno Donatti, Winfield Street Coffee founder, said construction is already underway and ahead of schedule.
Breno Donatti, the founder of Winfield Street Coffee, said they had been negotiating the lease at the Rye train station with the MTA since 2018.
