Como en Casa to Former Peruvian Space<\/p>\n

The former Peruvian spot at 4336 San Pablo Avenue has reopened as a Colombian restaurant. Como en Casa (which translates to \u201cjust like home\u201d) took over the brick-and-mortar storefront previously occupied by Cocina Peruana earlier this month. The new location appears to be a brick & mortar version of the local food truck of the same name<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the business\u2019s Yelp page, reviewers highlight the restaurant\u2019s traditional Colombian arepas and their combo plates, which feature seasoned meats, rice, beans, and plantains.<\/p>\n

Jamaican Spot ID\u2019d as New PME Tenant<\/p>\n

The new tenant at the Public Market that we noted in our has offered another clue. A \u201cJamaican Food\u201d sign has been added to the under-construction stall adjacent to the Public Bar.<\/p>\n

Longtime Public Market patrons might recall a Jamaican spot at the pre-renovated Market (adjacent to the ball-pit if we recall correctly) although it is unclear if there is any affiliation. <\/p>\n

On-site signage indicates the new tenant is slated to open in \u201cSummer 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Goop Kitchen is located at the recently rebranded Picnic Digital Food Court on Adeline St.<\/p>\n

Goop Kitchen Added to Digital Food Court Offerings<\/p>\n

goop kitchen\u2014the delivery-focused, fast-casual concept founded by actress Gwyneth Paltrow\u2014has opened a \u201cBerkeley\u201d location. The spot is actually a ghost kitchen running out of the CloudKitchen\/PicNic Digital Food Court on Adeline St. in North Oakland.<\/p>\n

The decision to market the location as being in Berkeley was quickly ridiculed by local media, including SFGATE<\/a>, who speculated that Oakland \u201cclashes with its aesthetic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Goop menu is completely gluten-free and focuses on clean ingredients free of refined sugars, seed oils, processed additives, corn, or peanuts. Protein bowls run upwards of $17.95, and a \u201cPepperoni Potts\u201d square pizza (a nod to Paltrow\u2019s role as Pepper Potts in the Iron Man franchise) runs $23.50. They also offer salads, wraps, and soups.<\/p>\n

Unlike most of the offerings at the digital food court, this location does not offer pick-up and is delivery-only (Emeryville is indeed within their delivery zone).<\/p>\n

Dos Corazones Caf\u00e9 Takes Over Caf\u00e9 Buenos Aires Space <\/p>\n

In news we failed to report, Dos Corazones (Two Hearts) Cafe quietly took over the previous Caf\u00e9 Buenos Aires space on the corner of Powell and Hollis streets earlier this year.<\/p>\n

They will continue to serve empanadas as the previous two occupants have and will also serve espresso drinks, matcha and refreshers.<\/p>\n

Los Moles Ownership Change<\/p>\n

Several readers have noted a Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) application for an ownership change posted in the window of Los Moles.<\/p>\n

State records show the restaurant\u2019s liquor license is being transferred to a newly formed entity named Los Moles Emeryville Inc.. However, the listed officers and shareholders appear to be members of the restaurant\u2019s existing ownership family.<\/p>\n

Proprietor Lito Saldana confirmed that his involvement with the restaurant remains unchanged. \u201cWe changed the license to the corporation,\u201d Saldana clarified via email.<\/p>\n

Choc\u2019late Mama Dreaming Big<\/p>\n

Choc\u2019late Mama proprietor Empress Kehinde Koyejo is dreaming big. Koyejo, who currently operates her allergen-friendly cookie brand out of a live-work space at The Emery, has her sights set on the former Hooper\u2019s Chocolates building on Telegraph Avenue to expand her operations. The iconic, storybook-style building has sat vacant for more than a decade<\/a> and carries a $2.7 million price tag.<\/p>\n

For Koyejo, the project is deeply personal: she grew up just blocks away and fondly recalls childhood trips there with her parents. To swallow that multi-million dollar asking price and scale up her business, Koyejo is seeking investors who share her mission to preserve the confectionary legacy of the building and \u201cbring the aroma of melted chocolate back to her old neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n
