@skinnylatte it's too bad. Having a tea room open late was nice.
Generally when I talk to coffeeshop owners they cite staffing as the reason for reduced hours. Ritual on Valencia is open til 6pm, which is relatively late now. The sign says these are "temporary hours"...they used to be open til 7, and I guess still hope to return to that. Sometimes, I go by and find a one-off sign up saying they've closed early at 2 or 4 due to understaffing.
