Kuboba Spot <\/p>\n

The Filipino-inspired food and boba restaurant closed on June 20. The business originally launched doing preorders for friends and family, before progressing to pop-ups and catering. In July 2022, the brick-and-mortar location opened. \u201cFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you,\u201d a farewell message on Instagram states. \u201cWe have been incredibly blessed to be surrounded by such a kind, welcoming, and supportive community. Whether you visited us from near or far, your encouragement, loyalty, and friendship have meant more to us than words can express.\u201d Kuboba Spot was at 2618 Telegraph Ave. in Berkeley.<\/p>\n

The Oakland brewery and taproom announced it will close permanently on July 19, with its final service coinciding with the World Cup final. Line 51 launched in 2013 and has been in its location near Jack London Square since 2020. \u201cWithout all of you this ride could\u2019ve never taken place, and we appreciate that,\u201d reads a post on Line 51\u2019s Instagram account. \u201cWe invite you to come raise a pint with us here at the Terminal any Thursday-Sunday until the World Cup Final. We love you Oakland!\u201d Line 51<\/a>, 303 Castro St., Oakland<\/p>\n

Saga Kitchen<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Nosh tipster who informed us Saga Kitchen in Alameda has closed. The Asian food hall served bento boxes, Japanese sandwiches, dim sum, sushi, ramen and more. Saga Kitchen was located at 1707 Lincoln Ave. in Alameda.<\/p>\n

The Townhouse<\/p>\n

The Townhouse Restaurant, which has operated in its current iteration for three dozen years, closed on June 22, as the E\u2019ville Eye first reported. The Townhouse was located in a 100-year-old building in Emeryville, and served hearty plates of pasta, steak and more. The Townhouse traces its history back a century, when it operated as a speakeasy during Prohibition.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we mark the 100th anniversary of this historic 1926 building in 2026, we recognize that this closure may simply reflect the realities of changing times in the restaurant industry and our community,\u201d president Dan Seng wrote in a closing announcement to customers and the community. \u201cThe Townhouse has endured for a full century, and we are proud of the role it has played in Emeryville\u2019s history.\u201d The closing message did go on to state that Seng is searching for a private lender to purchase the property and is keeping hope of a Townhouse rebirth alive. The Townhouse was located at 5862 Doyle Street in Emeryville.<\/p>\n

True Burger<\/p>\n

After 11 years in operation, True Burger has closed its location on Broadway, leaving the original Grand Avenue restaurant as the only remaining location. \u201cLike many independent Oakland businesses, we\u2019ve had a lot of challenges, but the good news is, we\u2019re still here and proud to call Oakland home,\u201d a message posted on True Burger\u2019s Instagram account states. True Burger was located at 4101 Broadway in Oakland.<\/p>\n
