Tadaima\u2019s Inner Sunset location<\/a> at 1248 9th Ave was broken into last week for the second time since its opening in February<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first break-in at the Japanese sando and matcha spot was on April 25, when thieves smashed the storefront\u2019s glass door and stole the safe and cash register. Last week, thieves shattered the door again and (once again) stole the safe and the register.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just trying to figure out what to do,\u201d an owner, J.L., said. \u201cProbably, we are getting a better security system, like an alarm system, because replacing the glass doors is not cheap either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

J.L. said there was less cash in the safe the second time because of the first experience. In the meantime, she added, they\u2019ve decided not to accept cash payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the city\u2019s police code, brick-and-mortar shops have to accept cash, but some merchants have decided to flout the law, and Supervisors Rafael Mandelman and Matt Dorsey have proposed repealing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police had found the first suspect and are currently investigating whether or not this second break-in was done by the same group of people, according to the owner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through both break-ins, J.L. said there\u2019s been an outpouring of support from the community both online and in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Willow on the Green at 1327 B Ninth Ave. near Irving Street sold its last piece of cheese on May 2 and the last of its wine on May 3. But that\u2019s not the last you\u2019ll see of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The British-centric cheese shop is closing due to a series of changes in the neighborhood, its owner, Alex J. Sinclair<\/a>, said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Specifically, Sinclair said, the closure of a UCSF research center and the JFK Drive shutdown brought fewer Richmond District residents to the Sunset. He also opened the shop in 2021 to fill a void for those feeling homesick for the United Kingdom during the pandemic, but now it\u2019s much easier for Anglophiles to get from San Francisco to the UK, and much more expensive to import cheese and everything else from the UK to the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sinclair won\u2019t say quite yet what\u2019s next. \u201cI\u2019m going to keep that one to my chest,\u201d Sinclair said. \u201cThere are a number of projects. I\u2019m actually pretty busy right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then he proceeded to let Mission Local in on a few of them. Sinclair is what they call a first chieftain of the Caledonian Club, which runs the Highland Games at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. He also works with the British Benevolent Society, among a few other foundations.<\/p>\n

Sinclair is, he said, going to keep selling cheese. He said many people didn\u2019t realize that Willow on the Green was a regular vendor for fairs, picnics, galas and concerts, which he said he focused on in the last year of the shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I can say is that I\u2019ve always seen an opportunity to try new things,\u201d Sinclair said. \u201cWe have no idea what it could be, but we know it would probably be a fun thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sinclair thanks everyone in the neighborhood, particularly everyone who tolerated the bagpipes. He still lives on the block and doesn\u2019t plan to leave the Inner Sunset anytime soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welcome Coffee & Goods at 425 Taraval St hopes to open the first or second week in July, its owner wrote. An espresso machine is up, and it seems quite cozy inside when I peered in.<\/p>\n

They also wrote in an Instagram post that \u201cYour new favorite neighborhood spot is almost ready.\u201d Its location along the L Taraval could make it a great location to grab some caffeine on your way into (or out of) the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Previously on Sunset Buzz:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Subscribers to our Sunset newsletter will know some of this already (You can subscribe to the Sunset newsletter here<\/a>), but I wanted to spread the wealth (and a few updates) on a few more official openings we previously reported on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maggie & Mac\u2019s<\/a> at 1326 9th Ave officially opened on June 5. In its first two weeks, its owner and \u201cde facto\u201d general manager, Scott Morton, said it\u2019s been \u201cnuts\u201d and that he has yet to find a limit to the neighborhood\u2019s desire for French dip sandwiches, which keep running out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI describe it as like drinking out of a fire hose,\u201d Morton said. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot at once to take in. But the good thing about drinking out of a fire hose is that, you know, it keeps you hydrated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jandii<\/a>, a new cafe at 1100 Taraval St., had its soft opening on Tuesday. There are only three things on the menu \u2014 scones, matcha, and coffee. The space is bright and airy, and the jazz is extremely soft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marcel\u2019s Cafe is \u201ctaking a short pause,\u201d according to a sign posted on their door. The cafe had opened<\/a> in late September at 1101 Taraval St.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, though. The sign on the storefront said Marcel\u2019s is \u201cpreparing something even more beautiful\u201d and that customers should stay tuned on their Instagram, @marcelcafe1101.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CSK Kitchen<\/a>, which sells grab-and-go onigiri, bento boxes, sandos, and more at the location at 420 Judah St, opened on June 6 and has already added a bench so that more customers can relax.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The owner, Chika Kuramoto, wants to provide authentic, reasonably priced Japanese food, she said. \u201cMy concept is you need to be healthy. You have to have a healthy body and a healthy mind,\u201d Kuramoto said. \u201cI hope my food is gonna help to just ease your day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before opening the storefront, Kuramoto sold CSK Kitchen goods at Sakura, a Japanese grocery store she also owns. In addition, Kuramoto added, she will still be catering anything from birthday parties to weddings to preschoolers\u2019 lunches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We won’t ignore your neighborhood<\/p>\n

When a San Francisco neighborhood has a Mission Local reporter, it means someone is there. We’re following new housing projects proposed on your block, keeping tabs on what your district supervisor is up to at City Hall, and letting you know when longtime businesses close (and new ones open). When big news breaks, we already know the context.<\/p>\n

Most neighborhoods don’t have that. Yours could.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s what Mission Local is building. Our reporters don’t parachute in — they write consistently on San Francisco, so you’re never reading about your neighborhood from someone who just looked it up.<\/p>\n

So far we are in five of San Francisco’s neighborhoods. But we know all San Franciscans deserve our kind of coverage.
