Sweet Lady Jane Returning To Santa Monica?!?

Despair no longer Good People of Santa Monica, Triple Berry Cakes may be returning!  On a tip from a reader (Thanks Missy!), I went by the very empty former location of beloved bakery Sweet Lady Jane at 1631 Montana in Santa Monica.  You may recall they recently abruptly pulled up stakes, much to the shock of fans.  Sure enough, as you can see, there is a hopeful note attached to the front door that promises they will be “opening again soon”.  I don’t have any information on the other locations.  There’s obviously more to this story so I’ll keep watching this surprising development.

Update: Here’s the complete skinny on Eater. 

Rosti Tuscan Kitchen Coming To Brentwood

The hidden little space at 11740 San Vicente Blvd. Suite 104 has had a bumpy ride since its under-the-radar glam industry spot La Scala quit the location.  For a while it was a short-lived French eatery called Meet In Paris, but mostly it has sat empty.  That’s about to change.  There’s an ABC application posted on the front announcing that this space will soon be a branch of Santa Monica’s perpetually popular Italian powerhouse Rosti Tuscan Kitchen.  (They also have a branch in Calabases as well.)  Brentwood sure does love its Italian restaurants…
