They have five other locations around LA.
It appears that LA’s preeminent pie shop is expanding from its original Pico-Robertson location to Palms. There’s window paper up on a space in the new Arya mixed-use complex at 10700 Tabor (corner of Overland) announcing the arrival of the much-lauded Pizzeria Sei. With a rare Michelin nod that describes it as possessing a “Japan-meets-Italy flair”, Pizzeria Sei has become legendary for its inventive and classic pies, and chewy crusts.
A well-known farmer’s market fixture appears to be getting a brick-and-mortar in Palms. A very sharp-eyed reader noticed the (very faint) window paper up on the space at used to be the home to C&M Cafe, at 10640 Woodbine St (corner of Overland). Daniel’s Bagels offers a solid menu of hand-made bagel standards that have quickly become local favorites.

Crumbl Cookies began life in Utah in 2017 before spreading to over 300 locations nationwide.
