Sweet July, the home goods store and cafe that Ayesha Curry once described as her "love letter" to Oakland, is permanently closing.

Four years after Ayesha Curry opened her flagship lifestyle retail store in Oakland, Sweet July announced it will close its doors next week for safety reasons.

Ayesha Curry’s boutique shop and café in Oakland, Calif. is closing “in order to prioritize the safety” of customers and workers, the business announced over the weekend. Sweet July’s last day in the crime-ridden city will be Feb.

The boutique shop was opened in 2021 and features products from Black-owned businesses as well as local Bay Area makers.

Ayesha Curry’s boutique shop in downtown Oakland will close “in order to prioritize the safety of our patrons and staff,” the shop announced on social media. Sweet July said in an Instagram post over the weekend that it “made the difficult decision” to close the store at 455 23rd St.
