"It's not uncommon to see a "Grand Opening" sign hanging in a Richmond District storefront, even after it's been in business for two or three years. Call it a neighborhood quirk. Or it could just be that every day of opening up shop in the Richmond really is just grand. Still, Mission Local's neighborhood "Buzz" series is here to bring the newest news. Here's the latest between Golden Gate Park and the Presidio."
"On Clement street: The Spanish Table at 130 Clement St. recently locked its doors and placed a sign in the window saying they've "closed temporarily," so you may have to buy salt cod elsewhere for your holiday Baccalà mantecato alla veneziana. The purveyors of Iberian dry goods, wine and wares saw their other two locations - in Berkeley and Marin - permanently shutter this year."
"The former 200 Clement St. location of Cumaica, a local coffee chain, has been shuttered for almost two years now, but construction work at the site and recent business filings, and a website suggest that a new cafe will soon open under the name Evermore. The website promises the usual tea and coffee (and soft serve ice cream), but more ephemeral offerings are also on the proverbial menu: "the contemplative life," and poetry. Maybe we'll see the birth of the next Coffee Gallery."
Grand Opening signs frequently remain displayed for years on Richmond District storefronts, reflecting a neighborhood quirk or the ongoing energy of new shops. The Spanish Table at 130 Clement Street has locked its doors and posted a 'closed temporarily' sign; its Berkeley and Marin locations closed permanently earlier. The former Cumaica site at 200 Clement shows construction and filings for a new cafe called Evermore, promising tea, coffee, soft serve ice cream, contemplative offerings and poetry. An apartment fire above Chili House at 728 Clement led to its 2023 closure; recent renovation removed signage and a November business registration appeared.
