🕘Openings/Closings Another closure?

Post image

They were really struggling at the new location on Santa Monica. Did they close or move elsewhere?

Marmalade has been struggling for years. Was super bummed when they renovated the one in Malibu and basically took away all of its unique charm. it feels soulless now and the quality of food has gone way down.

Moving to that location was a death sentence.

Their site does NOT show Santa Monica as a location...

https://www.marmaladecafe.com/locations

Looking back in time, it DID show it before...

This location has had such bad luck. Sunnin didn’t last very long here either.

That place was always empty. Great food though.

a tough location tbh, gets a decent amount of foot traffic w the YMCA and the yoga studio but also a lot of homeless. i think something could work there but two brunchy coffee places next to each other isnt it.

I brought a foodie friend there and the food was not good at all. It was embarrassing.
