It is owned by friends of Admas Ethiopian and Eritrean foods, which is next door.

They also offer acai bowls and other classic smoothies like mango, avocado, and strawberry.

The alarm system scared off the would-be thieves, but not before causing significant damage. TayHo made some temporary fixes and launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/standing-with-tayho-oakland-after-devastating-damage\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GoFundMe<\/a> to help with repairs and a new security gate. The crowd-funder has mobilized fans of the minority-owned, mother-daughter business and raised upwards of $30K at the time of writing. <a href=\"https:\/\/tayhooakland.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tay Ho<\/a>, 344, 12th St., Oakland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gform_required_legend\">&#8220;*&#8221; indicates required fields<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandside.org\/author\/momo-chang\/\" rel=\"author nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/MomoChang_AndriaLo_cropped2-150x150.jpg\" class=\"avatar avatar-120 photo wp-post-image\" alt=\"Momo Chang\"  data-attachment-id=\"388703\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/oaklandside.org\/?attachment_id=388703\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/oaklandside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MomoChang_AndriaLo_cropped2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1517,1397\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Andria Lo&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1417695085&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;photo by Andria Lo&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"MomoChang_AndriaLo_cropped2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Momo Chang, alumni coordinator at Oakland Voices.&lt;\/p&gt;&#10;\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/oaklandside.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/MomoChang_AndriaLo_cropped2-1200x1105.jpg\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Momo Chang is a freelance journalist who writes about food, culture, and social issues.
