Chef Dexter received a call at 4am on August 19th that the Barkada Bowl building was on fire. We are so thankful for the Cape Canaveral Fire Department's quick response and no one was hurt by the fire. However, the fire department deemed the building unsafe to continue any business for the time being. Recovery is going to take time for us and the other small businesses in the community as we assess the damage and start the rebuilding process. Barkada Bowl is our livelihood and this indefinite closure will greatly impact our lives and the joy it brings us to serve our community.

We are raising funds to help us through these uncertain times and will use any amount donated to replace lost/damaged equipment, cover lost wages, and get us back to serving the community we love as soon as possible. If you have ever been to Barkada Bowl and enjoyed our food, please share with your family and friends. We are deeply appreciative of all the Love and Support from our community.
