GotJuice
Oakland’s Laurel district just lost its neighborhood juice bar. GotJuice owner Terrell Elliott announced in a statement shared with Nosh that, while the decision wasn’t made lightly, “serving the Laurel district has been more than just business — it’s been family.” GotJuice was located at 3843 MacArthur Blvd. in Oakland.
High Peaks Kitchen
High Peaks Kitchen, a casual hub for Indian food in Oakland’s Rockridge district, announced a permanent closure as of Dec. 31. “This is a bittersweet moment because, while I feel it’s the right decision for my well-being, I am unsure of what the future holds and what new path I will embark on,” wrote co-owner Tsultrim Dorjee. High Peaks was located at 5299 College Ave. in Oakland.
K Street
K Street, which one Yelp reviewer described as a “whimsical joint serving K-street food and late-night bites,” has shuttered. The casual outpost served a variety of Korean snacks and sweet treats, including corn dogs, instant ramen, popcorn chicken, smoothies and frozen yogurt. K Street was located at 3905 Broadway in Oakland.
The Musical Offering Cafe and Bistro
After nearly 50 years in business, an iconic Berkeley institution has departed: the Musical Offering Cafe and Bistro, which served as a combination record store, bookstore and restaurant, served its last meal in November 2024. The Daily Californian, Berkeley’s student newspaper, reported in-depth about the closure, stating that the Musical Offering had been losing money for years, but held on as long as possible to continue serving its tight-knit community. The Musical Offering Cafe and Bistro was located at 2430 Bancroft Way in Berkeley.
