If you look carefully at the shopping center located on the corner of Sepulveda and El Segundo Blvd. in El Segundo, you’ll notice a small window poster announcing that one of the spaces at 150 Pacific Coast Highway is being leased by Phanny’s. You could be forgiven for not having heard of Phanny’s before. Phanny’s is an old-school Redondo Beach neighborhood spot serving what some have called the “The South Bay’s Best Breakfast Burrito“. Check out their extensive menu of burritos at their Redondo Beach location to get an idea of what may be coming. I’m told they’re planning on opening soon, possibly in a month, depending on permits.

Kreation Coming To Malibu
Congratulations Good People of Malibu, healthy juices are heading your way! There’s a banner on the front of the Montana Ave branch of cleanse experts Kreation announcing an upcoming branch in Malibu Village, at 3836 Cross Creek Rd. According to the banner, this will be their 24th branch.
Rabano Bringing “Fresh And Healthy” To Main St.
The space at 2507 Main St. in Santa Monica has been a bit of a mystery for the last few years. Once the home of Novel Cafe, the space has been gutted with intermittent construction. Readers assured me it was either going to be a restaurant, or bar, or something, but I could never verify anything… until now. A sign recently went up over the door announcing the arrival of Rabano Handcrafted Food & Drinks. Rabano has a location in Hermosa Beach and has a “fresh and healthy” menu of salads, bowls, and sandwiches that utilizes local ingredients and focuses on the environment.
Zinqué Landing In Malibu
The space at 23725 W. Malibu Rd. in Malibu has sat empty for a very long time. From 1991 until 2005, this location was the home of Wolfgang Puck and Barbara Lazaroff’s Granita. The for lease sign came down a while ago, but I didn’t have details of the new tenant. Recently, signs have gone up informing us that this will be a branch of breezy French charmer Zinqué. Seems like a perfect fit…
The Kebab Shop Landing In El Segundo
The Kebab Shop is taking over the one of the spaces at 460 N PCH in El Segundo. Expect the fast/casual Mediterranean eatery to offer a menu of “seasoned kebabs hand-carved from a vertical rotisserie or grilled over an open flame”, falafel, salads, and sides. The rapidly expanding chain has locations across California, Texas, and Florida, and is also opening new local restaurants in Atwater Village, Northridge, and Seal Beach.
Alessi Coffee Lab Coming To Malibu
It looks like Malibu is about to get another coffee option. Window paper is up on an erstwhile real estate agency space in the shopping center at 29575 Pacific Coast Hwy. announcing that something called Alessi Coffee Lab is intent on moving in. I don’t have much information about Alessi, nor do I have any knowledge if they are related to the famous Italian brand. But the window paper promises us all-natural, mineral-rich organic drinks.

Something New Is Coming To The Hungry Cat Space On PCH…
I’ve been hearing from a great many of you about a new ABC application pasted to the front of the old Hungry Cat space at 100 W Channel Rd. in LA (Santa Monica). The Hungry Cat vacated the space back in November of 2016. It has sat empty since then, but the notoriously tricky spot is showing signs of life. The application, which reveals no business name, lists the applicant as PCH @ Channel LLC. A search turns up little info, but the online application reveals a name associated with a real estate office in Pacific Palisades. I’ve reached out to the agent for more information, but until that happens, I don’t have much more to tell you. This is a developing story…
