L'Acajou Is Spotted, Two Ovens Converge, Tamarindo Does Tequila

​Andrew on Haighteration discovers that neighborhood new(ish)comer Clay Oven (500 Haight) has bought out longtime neighborhood favorite Indian Oven (233 Fillmore). There is consternation in the comments.

Marcia G. at Tablehopper reports on the opening of a cafe that the rest of us haven't yet: L'Acajou (98 Ninth St., 626-3683, www.lacajou.com), which opened at the end of May. The pitch: bakery and cafe, open from breakfast through late afternoon, serving De La Paz coffee, breakfast sandwiches, home-baked scones, and panini and salads for lunch.

Marcia G. also reports that Namu is opening for brunch this weekend, and three-week-old Thermidor is opening for lunch today.

Jay B. at Grub Street says that chef-owner Bruce Hill is anticipating Zero Zero (826 Folsom St.) will open in July. The pitch: Pizza and cocktails from the man behind Pizzeria Picco in Larkspur. Two of his new managers come from Clint Reilly's six-month-old Credo. Not a good sign.

Paolo L. at Inside Scoop announced that Tamarindo (468 Eighth St., Oakland, 510-444-1944, www.tamarindoantojeria.com), the Old Oakland restaurant specializing in delicate Mexican antojitos, has expanded into a tequila bar next door. The owners have been talking about wanting to serve tequila since we reviewed them at the East Bay Express a lifetime ago.
