Here’s welcome news if you’ve been tortured by the thought of having to walk more than a block for fresh juice anywhere on the Westside: The new Groundwork on the corner of 16th and Montana Ave. in Santa Monica now carries a range of cold-pressed juices from rapidly expanding Pressed Juicery.
Sheesh… Did that take a long time or what? After what seems like years of development (Well, actually it was years), Groundwork Coffee will soft open on December 9th, with an official opening on Dec. 16th, on the corner of 16th and Montana Ave. in Santa Monica. On Sunday, locals were treated to samples of coffee and Breadbar pastries…
Remember Fenjune? The specialty tea shop that was going into the space at 1601 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica has been under construction since 2011. Let’s just say the City of Santa Monica has not made it easy for local businessman Josh Pourgal to open the place and it has languished in half-finished limbo. Well construction is back on and it looks like Pourgal has changed plans. Instead of Fenjune, the new shop will be an outpost of organic coffee purveyor Groundwork opening (hopefully) in a few weeks I’m told. Until then, read more at: Groundwork.
