Arleta Library Bakery & Cafe (Portland, Oregon)| Seen on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” on the Food Network, the Arleta Library Bakery & Cafe has closed. The hole-in-the-wall Portland, Oregon, cafe has been around for 15 years but couldn’t withstand the financial strain the coronavirus pandemic placed on the establishment. Although there can’t be any hugs, shoutouts or last calls, according to Arleta’s Facebook page, there is a GoFundMe for patrons to give staff one last tip.

Restaurants and bars across the country are struggling with dine-in restrictions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. By the end of the year, the restaurant industry will lose a projected $240 billion, according to the National Restaurant Association. Already, two out of three restaurant employees have lost their jobs because of the virus’s impact on the industry. Some restaurants have closed temporarily. Some continue to offer carryout and curbside pickup. And some beloved spots across the country have had to close their doors forever.
