Jake’s Cafe, a popular breakfast and lunch spot, closed its doors on March 23. Owner Jake Palmer announced the closure in February in a video shared on social media, calling it a tough decision and a heartfelt goodbye to customers.
Jake’s Cafe Closed After 12 Years
Jake’s Cafe was located at 51 Wright Brothers Ave, Livermore. It first opened in January 2014 and has now shut its doors after 12 years of service. Proximity to Livermore Municipal Airport attracted many customers for breakfast and lunch on the go.
In the announcement post, the owner invited both loyal and new customers to visit the cafe one last time. In the last two days of service, the cafe also offered free breakfast burritos while supplies lasted as a farewell gesture.
Earlier in February, the owner shared a video announcing the closure and said, “I am ready for a break, and I am ready to focus on my health.”

From eggs and roasted potatoes to deli-style sandwiches, Jake’s Cafe was a go-to spot for many customers.
As the restaurant closed its doors, owner Jake Palmer expressed appreciation for the loyal customers, staff members, and community that supported the cafe throughout its 12-year journey.
