Agile Physical Therapy has taken over long-vacant former Rikkers Liquors space. Who remembers Rikkers?! Yowza! Also, L'Amourette Chocolate has begun construction on its new Castro St. shop - sweet!

Let’s take a tour of the new Castro Muni Station elevator. It’s a beautiful new glass elevator! Remember, don’t press platform because the elevator does not go all the way down to the platform. @SFMTA_Muni

Took a test drive this morning & it was great. However, keep in mind that Muni riders cannot ride elevator down to the platform. You’ll need to walk across at fare gates entrance & take OG elevators down to the platform.

Got a chance last week to pop in & try out Castro’s new wellness center Pause Studio. They need a really nice job building out this space. It’s a little pricey but if you wanna treat yourself to a relaxing day, I’d highly recommend it. hoodline.com/2026/10/a-look-…

Jandii Cafe will be opening in former Kitchen Story space. The cafe is still owned by same people who run Sweet Maple & Blackwood. This will be their second location & they serve matcha, coffee & scones. hoodline.com/2026/10/castro-…

Castro neighborhood favorite dim sum & Sichuan restaurant Mama Ji's announced it will close at the end of October. The wildly popular restaurant had a solid 15-year run & I'm sure it will be missed by many in the Castro. hoodline.com/2026/10/castro-…

However, all of its permits don't appear to be lined up. SF Planning informed me that Corgi Cafe will need a conditional use permit to operate between 2- 6 a.m.

Walking around Castro recently, you might have noticed the Rainbow Honor Walk plaques are looking a bit shinier & more colorful. That's because the plaques are getting polished & logos on each plaque have had rainbow colors added. hoodline.com/2026/09/castro-…

Church & Market restaurant The Rustic, quietly closed earlier this month. The three-year-old restaurant took over the space previously occupied by Crook (Cook) Shoppe & longtime neighborhood favorite Chow. hoodline.com/2026/09/church-…

Castro Nail Salon has reopened in its new 18th/Eureka location after a long battle with Another Planet and the Nasser Family. Stop on by and check them out, the new shop is really nice. hoodline.com/2026/09/castro-…

I scream, you scream, we all scream for the return of Castro ice cream. Angela's Ice Cream opened over the weekend in the former 7-Eleven space. Gotta say, it's nice to come back to some delicious positive news. hoodline.com/2026/09/inside-…

This is a fantastic new small business taking over a long-troubled space. Way better result than the lame frozen meat store that originally planned to open here
