The Kind Ones About To Shake Up Your Beverly Hills Breakfast With Top Secret Brioche

I’ve been carefully watching the space at 9527 S Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills that used to house ill-fated B H Poke.  I knew something was moving in, but I couldn’t confirm what.  The new tenants left cryptic messages here and there, and had a daisy painted on the front at one point.  But a note taped to the window finally lets the cat out of the bag.  It appears that this location will be the future home of The Kind Ones.  While there’s not a ton of information out there, this article in Fitt LA explains that The Kind Ones has its roots in Kuwait, and specializes in breakfast sandwiches and bowls, the former being served in open-top boxes on proprietary brioche buns that purportedly require the baker to sign a “non-disclosure agreement “.  Their Yelp page lists the opening as November 2nd.

B.H. Poke Officially Gone…

I applauded last year when B.H. Poke courageously threw open their doors on a particularly tricky stretch of Beverly Hills (9527 Santa Monica Blvd. to be exact).  Then something went south…  A note was hastily affixed to the front door saying that they were taking a “little break”.  Now, after sitting idle for a few months, a large for lease sign officially confirms their demise.  I’ll watch to see what might move in.

What’s Going On At B.H. Poke In Beverly Hills?

Recently, I noticed a hastily written note posted on the front door of fledgling B.H. Poke at 9527 Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills, situated in a block that has seen a great deal of turn over recently.  As you can see, the note states that they are “taking a little break” due to “unforeseen circumstances”.  According to a photo on Yelp, the note has been up since early last month.  It looks like no one has set foot in the shop for quite a while.  I tried to call and inquire, but their phone line no longer works.  So, I can’t confirm if they’re planning on reopening or not, but things don’t look good.

North Shore Poke Co. Drops Anchor In BH

LA continues its love affair with raw fish…  Recently “molecular creamery” Ice-Cream Lab closed its chilly doors at 9461 S. Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills.  And wasting no time, signs are now up to let us know that expanding Hawaiian restaurant North Shore Poke Co. will soon be moving in.  To read more and view an unnervingly close photo of their product, click here.

Beverly Hills Poke Set To Replace Beverly Hills Beignet

It wasn’t that long ago that I told you about Beverly Hills Beignet taking over the old Papa Jake’s Sub Shop at 9527 Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills.  They opened about six months ago, but closed recently after a bit of a kerfuffle.  Wasting no time whatsoever, it appears that a newcomer is quickly taking over the vacant space.  Beverly Hills Poke will soon be dishing raw fish to the good people of The Golden Triangle.  According to a worker at the site, they are hoping to be up and running in about a week and a half.  Not much out there on BHP, just a Craigslist ad, so I’ll keep watching…
