84 Viet<\/p>\n

The Vietnamese restaurant serving pho, bahn mi and other dishes in downtown Berkeley appears closed. Nosh tipster Howard noted that 84 Viet, which first opened in 2023, looked dormant. Indeed, the phone number is disconnected, the restaurant is not accepting online orders, and Yelp commenters have also mentioned it has been closed during regular hours. 84 Viet was located at 2050 Berkeley Way in Berkeley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Koja Kitchen<\/p>\n

Nosh tipster Hallie spotted (and The E\u2019ville Eye reported<\/a>) that the Emeryville Public Market location of Koja Kitchen has closed. The food stall selling a Japanese-Korean fusion menu including Korean barbecue sandwiches first opened in 2015. Koja Kitchen locations<\/a> in Berkeley, Dublin and Fremont remain open. Koja KItchen was located at 5959 Shellmound St., Emeryville<\/p>\n

Malibu\u2019s Burgers\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the San Francisco Chronicle reported<\/a>, vegan burger restaurant Malibu\u2019s Burgers, which has occupied multiple locations, closed in Uptown Oakland on June 6. Owner Darren Preston made the decision to add meat and cheese to the previously all-vegan menu in January, but the change did not alter the fortunes of the restaurant. The Oakland Malibu\u2019s Burgers once was located on Piedmont Avenue, and there was a second location in San Rafael that closed in 2025. Malibu\u2019s Burgers was located at 326 23rd St. in Oakland<\/p>\n

Milyar<\/p>\n

Redditors<\/a> noted that Milyar cafe in South Berkeley has closed, with the space cleared out and an eviction notice posted in the window. (Also, we see you, No-Understanding4968<\/a>, and Nosh appreciates you and all reader tips<\/a>!) Milyar opened in Berkeley in early 2024, following a wave of Yemeni coffee shops opening<\/a> in the East Bay. Milyar was located at 3300 Adeline St. in Berkeley<\/p>\n

The Xocolate Bar<\/p>\n

Nosh reader Allie Marten shared the news that Xocolate Bar in Berkeley is closing. The fair-trade, organic chocolate shop has been operating on Solano Avenue since 2008. Owner Malena Lopez-Maggi announced that the last day of operating will be July 4. This follows the closure of the Rockridge<\/a> location earlier this year. Lopez-Maggi cites financial reasons<\/a> for closing the shop. The shop will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. until it closes. On July 4, there will be a \u201cCelebration of Life for The Xocolate Bar\u201d from 2\u20134 p.m. \u201cJoin us for drinks, sparklers, hugs, and reminiscing. Wear brown,\u201d reads the announcement<\/a>. The Xocolate Bar<\/a>, 1709 Solano Ave., Berkeley<\/p>\n
