Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams Coming To Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills lost both of their branches of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in the mass extinction event the chain experienced during the Pandemic closures.  Their location at 445 N Beverly Dr. has sat empty ever since, but that’s about to change.   A notice of intent for an open air dining permit posted on the front door spills the beans that an outpost of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is on the way.  Founded by Jeni Britton Bauer and headquartered in Columbus Ohio, Jeni’s boasts a frozen treat with “a uniquely smooth texture and buttercream body, with bright flavor and clean finish” for which people go crazy, including President Joe Biden.

Breadblok Expanding To Beverly Hills?

A new tenant may have been found to fill the vacancy left by the closure of Yojisan Sushi at 260 N. Beverly Dr. in Beverly Hills.  While there’s no sign up or even any indication of life, a “leased” sign has been slapped on the front.  There is, however, a “notice of non-responsibility” taped to the front door.  Careful inspection of that appears to spill the beans that the new shop will be nonother than a branch of popular organic and gluten-free bakery Breadblok.  You may recall that the farmer’s market fave opened a brick-and-mortar about a year and a half ago in Santa Monica.  So yes Beverly Hills, honey lavender cakes may indeed be heading your way…

Good news people of Beverly Hills, high-end goceries are heading your way!  Many of you grieved when I told you about the closure of the much-beloved Williams Sonoma at 339 N Beverly Dr.  Wasting no time, window coverings are informing us that this location will eventually be an outpost of popular (if pricey) natural foods grocer Erewhon.   It appears that they are taking their time: They’re shooting for an opening next year.

Williams-Sonoma Will Be Closing In Beverly Hills

Well this is sad news indeed.  Look at this photo in the window of Beverly Hills’ bright, beautiful Williams-Sonoma.  Yes, it’s true: this location at 339 N Beverly Dr., known for having the best selection in the area, will be permanently closing its doors.  They will remain open through the end of January.  Their locations in Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and Pasadena will stay open, for now…

Nespresso Getting A New Location In Beverly Hills

So, I’m not sure if coffee giant Nespresso is opening a second location or moving from their location in the next block.  What I am sure of is that the plywood is covering the space at 408 N Beverly Drive, formerly home of Theory, has a notice on the front saying that Nespresso is coming soon.  I guess we’ll have to wait and see…
