Beloved Berkeley Café Shuts Doors After 45 Years, Ending Era of Community Nourishment
Originally Published 2 years ago — by KRON4
Berkeley's beloved Homemade Cafe is set to close after 45 years of service due to financial challenges. Despite efforts to maintain affordable prices, pay living wages, and contribute to the community through initiatives like "everybody eats," the current economic climate has made it unsustainable for the restaurant to continue operating. The cafe, known for its commitment to quality ingredients and community support, will be remembered for its positive impact, including providing nearly 5,000 meals to those in need this past year.
