Love Coffee Bar Expanding To Mar Vista

A new java joint is landing on a neglected stretch of Centinela Ave.  Santa Monica’s dog-friendly neighborhood coffee spot Love Coffee Bar is expanding to Mar Vista.  There’s window paper up on the space at 3519 S Centinela (crossroad Palms Blvd.) announcing that they will be opening at this location as soon as they can. 

Small Batch Cooked In Mar Vista

I went by to check out what was going on at 12222 Venice Blvd. after I got a tip from a reader (Thanks Ivy!).  Sure enough, Top Chef Brooke Willliamson’s artisanal ice cream shop Small Batch has closed up shop.  You can still get their proprietary icy treats at Playa Provisions in Playa del Rey.
