"Baker & Commons opens today in former Elmwood Cafe space. Brunch restaurant and community hub Elmwood Cafe shuttered suddenly last month amid renewed criticism for a 2015 incident of racial bias, leaving the neighborhood without a central business on which many of its residents were reliant. Now a former manager of the Elmwood Cafe, Kara Hammond, and Eric Wright, a veteran of the East Bay hospitality industry, are opening a new business in the space at 2900 College Avenue. They call it Baker & Commons, and its first day is today, Fans of Elmwood’s pastry will be happy to know that the same pastry chef is on the team." - Caleb Pershan
