After more than 30 years, Glen Park’s Tyger’s Coffee Shop has closed

April 1, 2021 by Elizabeth Weise

Note: In an earlier version of this story we called Tyger’s Glen Park’s “beloved greasy spoon.” That was meant as an endearment and is a phrase that, for the author, had only positive connotations. Clearly, this is not the case for everyone and we apologize for having caused offense. Having happily eaten at Tyger’s for more than 20 years, the author was a big fan and is heartbroken the restaurant has closed. 

After more than 30 years in Glen Park, Tyger’s restaurant has closed.

The neighborhood’s beloved breakfast and lunch spot shut its doors and locked it gate for good on March 31, 2021.

It had shut down in the beginning of the pandemic but re-opening for take-out and, in February, for outdoor dining.

The Glen Park News is working to learn more about why Tyger’s closed and what is likely to replace it.

In March 2024 the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission removed 11 trees from four acres on the north side of O’Shaughnessy, just beyond where the last block of Bosworth makes a right turn. The eucalyptus trees were planted more than 100 years ago and were at risk of falling. Furthermore, access is needed for firefighters in case of wildfire in the area of Glen Canyon Park.
SFPUC was replacing the trees on December 9 with California native plants, which will attract birds, insects, and pollinators. “The goal is to extend the riparian corridor around Islais Creek in the canyon using native plants to create a fire break that also nurtures local fauna,” wrote Heather World in The Glen Park News when the plan was first announced.
Glen Park neighbors were invited to join in on Tuesday, December 9, 9:15am–12:30pm, for a volunteer workday.
