Bubbletopia LA, Dogbite Gourmet Hot Dogs Coming To Santa Monica

It appears something new is taking over the Market Pavillion at 1260 Third St. Promenade, last home of the extremely short-lived Kindred Spirit coffee shop.  Actually, two new things.  The north half is turning into something called Bubbletopia LA. The south half will be Dogbite Gourmet Hot Dogs.  Bubbletopia LA will feature milk tea, fruit tea, and waffles with ice cream and various toppings. Dogbite‘s menu offers such things as Chili Dogs, Elote Dogs, and Ring Dogs (bacon-wrapped beef dogs with onion rings, coleslaw, onion, and BBQ sauce), served alongside fries with various toppings.  Curiously, I can’t seem to locate much information about these two businesses, so if you know more, let me know…

Kindred Spirit Coming To Downtown Santa Monica

ISno Cafe closed its doors early this year, leaving the former Monsieur Marcel space at 1260 Third St. Promenade once again empty.  But there’s a small now hiring notice hanging in the window that lists a new business, Kindred Spirits, is moving in.  There’s not much out there about KS, except a job listing calling for bartenders, baristas, pastry cooks, and hosts.  But the contact email on the notice references Cafe Demittase, which is the quiet neighborhood coffee spot just north of Wilshire on Third St.  I have no clear understanding of what the relationship is, so if you have more info, let me know.
