Oakland bakery in former Black Panthers HQ permanently closes

On Jan. 27, butcher paper covered the windows of the It's All Good Bakery at 5622 Martin Luther King Jr. Way and signs announced, "We are permanently closed. Thank you for 30 years of support!" A neighbor at the barbershop next door said it had shut down the previous week. Asked why, he replied, "We're all still wondering that ourselves." A message posted to the bakery's Instagram this week proclaimed it was the "end of an era. We have officially closed our doors. We've poured our hearts into every batch, but it's time for us to take a break."
