Reader CVR Intel says “The old Cava restaurant [on Coast Village Road that closed last September] is being tented today. A sign the building has sold?” Reader Oxmyx says that they heard a coffee shop was on the way but that is a totally unconfirmed rumor. When I was growing up a few blocks away, the Cava building was a terrific restaurant called Pelican’s Wharf. Someone should bring back the brand.

Forgot all about Pelican’s Wharf, what a great restaurant that was, along with Olive Mill and Chanticleer. Thanks for the memory!
Maybe bring back the Golden Pepper or Noemi pizzeria. We need more pizza places in SB please.
