Delah Coffee<\/p>\n

Delah Coffee, a local Yemeni coffee chain, has closed its Berkeley caf\u00e9 near the university, per a Nosh tipster. Delah Coffee\u2019s other Bay Area locations are in San Francisco, Oakland and Dublin, serving specialty drinks like the Delah Qahwah (light roast with ginger and cardamom), Yemeni frappes and fruit smoothies. Delah Coffee was located at 1807 Euclid Ave. in Berkeley. <\/p>\n

Gai Noi<\/p>\n

Gai Noi, a casual spot for Thai street food staples, is listed as temporarily closed under business\u2019 Google and Yelp listings, but a Nosh tipster let us know a sign on the door reads: \u201cThe store is permanently closed.\u201d Crispy tofu, fish cakes, curry puffs, veggie bowls, curries and noodles were menu highlights. It\u2019s unclear if and when they\u2019ll reopen, but check back for updates. Gai Noi was at 435 19th St. (at Broadway) in Oakland.<\/p>\n

Peet\u2019s<\/p>\n

Peet\u2019s Coffee is closing several of its Bay Area caf\u00e9s by the end of this month, including some in Berkeley and San Francisco, on the heels of an $18 billion buyout by Keurig Dr Pepper. The San Francisco Chronicle reported the coffee chain is poised to close 30 of its shops in the Bay, but the company has been vague about which ones exactly. So far, we know the location at Dwight and Telegraph (2501 Telegraph Ave.) in Berkeley will close. Locations in Oakland and Alameda seem to remain largely unaffected; the shops on Alameda\u2019s Park St. and in Oakland\u2019s Piedmont, Lakeshore and Fruitvale districts plan to stay open. Peet\u2019s originated in Berkeley in 1966, but has not been under local ownership since 2012, when it was sold to JAB Holding Company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sumo Sushi<\/p>\n

Another tipster let us know that Albany\u2019s Sumo Sushi has shuttered. The restaurant was known for serving classics like sushi and sashimi, but its bento boxes and miso soup were a particular fan favorite. Sumo Sushi was located at 977 San Pablo Ave. (at Buchanan St.) in Albany.\u00a0<\/p>\n
