According to the coffee shop's website, Ritual Coffee says its customers and community are not involved in the reason for the closure. The cafe cites the 'confluence of the many factors of running a small business in a modern city' for the location's demise.
Ritual Coffee asks for patrons to support in its final days. 'Come enjoy a coffee, this pretty café, and the sweet view of the fog rising off Buena Vista Park, and be with us for the next few weeks,' said the coffee house.
Ritual Coffee has been in business for two decades. The cafe has four other locations, including one in SFO airport.

Musk reportedly fires Tesla head of operations Omead Afshar
(KRON) — Elon Musk has reportedly fired one of his most longstanding top lieutenants at Tesla. According to a report in Forbes, Musk has ousted Omead Afshar, Tesla's head of operations in North American and Europe amid ongoing declining sales for the EV maker. Afshar, who first joined Tesla in 2011, began overseeing sales and manufacturing for Europe and North America in October of last year. Sales and demand across those two regions have seen a significant drop, in part due to the backlash against Tesla CEO Musk's political activities. AI willing to blackmail, let people die to avoid being shut down: report In a 2024 profile, the Wall Street Journal referred to Afshar as 'Musk's Fixer.' His departure from Tesla represents the biggest indication so far that a shakeup is underway at the EV maker. Tesla sales have declined in the aftermath of Musk's financial backing of the Trump campaign and his close association with the administration through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). While Musk has since departed Washington, Tesla sales in the U.S., Europe and China are still down. Demand for the Tesla Cybertruck has apparently slowed to such a degree that Tesla reportedly plans to pause production of the vehicle over the week of July 4. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

San Jose fraud prevention expert charged with healthcare fraud
(KRON) — A woman who worked as a security manager at Nvidia and regularly spoke as an expert on fraud prevention was charged with submitting 167 fraudulent healthcare claims against the Santa Clara-based tech company, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced Friday. Faranak Firozan, 47, is accused of submitting the fraudulent claims between November 2020 and January 2024 to Nvidia's self-insured health plan, according to prosecutors. The DA's office said that many of the claims were either entirely made up or that bills were altered by changing service dates. 'Providers verified that services listed in her claims were either not performed at all or were duplicated claims,' the DA's office wrote. The scheme began to unravel in August 2024, according to prosecutors, after the California Department of Insurance received a suspected fraudulent claim referral from Cigna, which administered Nvidia's health plan. Motorcyclist suffers 'life-changing injury' in San Jose hit-and-run 'On her LinkedIn page, Firozan described herself as an expert in abuse prevention systems and fraud investigations for financial institutions,' the DA's office wrote. 'In 2020, she provided training on cyber laundering for the Information Systems Security Association Silicon Valley Chapter.' Firozan was charged with altering medical records with fraudulent intent and preparing false statements in connection with insurance claims. She also faces an added aggravated white-collar crime enhancement. Firozan is scheduled to be arraigned on July 15. If convicted, prosecutors said she faces years in prison and would be ordered to pay restitution. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
