Philz Coffee Closing In Downtown Santa Monica

Sadly, it appears the reign of mint mojito coffee is coming to an end in Downtown Santa Monica.  There’s a gracious notice on the front door of the Philz Coffee at 525 Santa Monica Blvd. that states their last day will be April 30, 2024.  Not sure what happened to this branch of the Bay Area third wave coffee darling, but if you’re desperate for a cup of minty caffeinated goodness, check out their other locations here.

(Thanks Ely!)

Philz Coffee Coming To Beverly Hills

Congratulations Good People of Beverly Hills, mojito mint coffee is heading your way… Beverly Hills lost its branches of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf in the company’s mass extinction event that occurred over a year ago when multiple SoCal locations closed (there are still a smattering of branches around).  But the chain’s previous address at 233 S Beverly Dr. is destined to be a java joint once more.  According to window paper, the Bay Area’s third wave darling, Philz Coffee, will be replacing the second wave CBTL at this location.

Sunnin Lebanese Cafe Expanding West Into SM

It looks like Westwood’s popular Middle Eastern restaurant Sunnin Lebanese Café is expanding west into Santa Monica.  A conditional use permit notice recently went up on the empty space just to the right of Philz Coffee at 525 Santa Monica Blvd. Suite 120 announcing the impending arrival.  According to the notice, the hours of the new café will be 11AM to 11PM Monday through Sunday, and there will be beer and wine.  No word on a planned opening date, but I’ll keep watching…
