"Blue Bottle is set to leave the iconic WC Morse building in Oakland's Temescal district on September 26, per a sign on the cafe's door. Blue Bottle has occupied the historic former car dealership since 2014 and used to offer espresso tech repairs, visible through a plastic partition in the space. The cafe has recently shaved down its opening hours, and an employee said declining business made continuing unviable."
"Roasted and Raw, a holdover for plant-based bowls, empanadas and pastas announced its upcoming closure on Instagram this week. The cafe plans to sell its space and is actively seeking a buyer. With a week or two left of service, we are looking to turn this into a win for us and our landlord by selling to an established restaurateur looking for a beautiful turn-key ready restaurant space in a reviving downtown, a September 15 Instagram post reads."
