Influencer couple Chloe Szep and Mitch Orval quietly close their Gold Coast café - after its menu was roasted for bizarre items including a 'large short black'

Chloe Szepanowski and Mitch Orval have quietly closed their Gold Coast cafe, less than four months after opening. 

The influencer couple had opened the Nobby Beach restaurant back in February, naming the seafood eatery The Shack Take Away. 

However, as reported by the Outspoken podcast, Chloe and Mitch have since packed up shop, closing the doors and leaving behind nothing but an empty shell.

The business' recently-created Instagram page has also been deleted in recent months. 

Neither Chloe nor Mitch have issued a public statement about why they closed their business, or whether they plan to relaunch in future. 

The mysterious closure comes after Chloe and Mitch were trolled on social media over The Shack Take Away's menu, which featured  bizarre items such as a 'large short black'.

The couple posted an Instagram photo of the menu on a large sign back in February, and it didn't take long for their followers to notice a litany of grammatical errors and several bizarrely named items. 

While Chloe and Mitch subsequently disabled comments on the post, fans flocked to Instagram watchdog account Aussie Influencer Opinions to share their thoughts. 

Among the many blunders was the inclusion of a 'large short black' - a drink that does not exist.

A short black, or espresso, is made by pushing hot, pressurised water through finely ground coffee, producing a dense, strong and slightly bitter drink about 30ml in volume.

No extra hot water is added, otherwise it becomes a long black or Americano. By definition, it is impossible to make a 'large' short black.

Bizarrely, Chloe and Mitch's menu also separately advertised espressos, even though the term 'espresso' is interchangeable with 'short black'. 

Eagle-eyed fans also noticed the restaurant's 'alternative milks' were listed with the incorrect price denomination '$0.8c'.

To make matters worse, Chloe and Mitch (pictured with son Arti) were ridiculed for naming menu items after members of their own family and friendship circle, including the 'Kate Szep Protein Pack', which was named after Chloe's influencer sister Kate Szepanowski

Presumably Chloe and Mitch meant to write '80¢', or alternatively '$0.80'.

Other errors included unnecessarily capitalised words, the word 'or' misspelled as 'on', and the use of confusing terms such as 'alternative drinks'.

The menu also incorrectly used the word 'ice' instead of 'iced' when referring to cold coffees.

Chloe and Mitch have come under fire recently for promoting misinformation about health on social media.

The pair have posted anti-lockdown content on their Instagram pages despite a lack of medical qualifications, and also follow anti-vax accounts. 

Chloe, who regularly spruiks wellness products like 'immunity shots' and mushroom 'hot chocolate' online, last year lost more than 6,000 followers on Instagram after sharing a post supporting anti-lockdown protests.
