LB Steak<\/p>\n

Vine Hospitality also owns Left Bank Brasserie, and those have closed<\/a>. The Oakland location of Left Bank Brasserie closed in December of 2024. LB Steak<\/a>, 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd., Ste. 1614, San Ramon<\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s Doghouse<\/p>\n

After 42 years in El Sobrante, Sam\u2019s Doghouse has closed<\/a>. The restaurant specialized in hot dogs and milkshakes. The owners stated, \u201cFor\u00a0 over 40 years, you made Sam\u2019s Doghouse more than a business. You made it a gathering place. A neighborhood stop. A family tradition. A place where people came for a hot dog, a milkshake, a quick lunch, a familiar face, and sometimes just a little piece of home. Sam\u2019s Doghouse, 3857 San Pablo Dam Rd., El Sobrante<\/p>\n

Yammy Sushi<\/p>\n

Thanks to a tip from our reader, Lisa, we learned that Yammy Sushi in the El Cerrito Plaza has closed. The restaurant served rolls, nigiri, bentos, and noodle soups. Yammy Sushi<\/a>, 195 El Cerrito Plaza, El Cerrito<\/p>\n

Zing Cafe<\/p>\n

It appears that Zing Cafe in Berkeley, which\u00a0first opened in early 2015<\/a>, has closed. A Nosh reader shared with us that the signage is gone, and\u00a0Yelpers<\/a>\u00a0have also reported the cafe has closed. Nosh stopped by and found the signage painted over in black. The cafe, near Ashby BART station in the 1923 storybook-style building that once housed Marmot Mountain Works, served coffee, salads, sandwiches, and pastries.\u00a0Zing Cafe<\/a>, 3051 Adeline St. Ste. B, Berkeley<\/p>\n
