Niche Cafe, a Venice-born coffee and smoothie outfit that first popped up as a trailer on Abbott Kinney, is gearing up to roll into Marina del Rey this summer with a full-on brick-and-mortar shop. The team says it is taking over the storefront at 714 Washington Blvd, though a firm opening date is still under wraps.
According to What Now Los Angeles, the owners teased the move in a social media post, and a spokesperson confirmed the summer timeline while noting that the exact date is still being finalized. The outlet lists the address and reports that more details will drop once the crew locks in an opening day.
From Trailer To Storefront
Niche launched in 2018 as a coffee and smoothie trailer on Abbott Kinney and has since built a loyal local following. On its site the brand currently flashes a "Launching Soon" message and invites email sign-ups. The team says it set out to build “a menu that kept the community buzzing” while creating space for genuine connections. Niche Cafe's website also features a contact form for anyone who wants to hop on the waitlist for updates.
Menu And Roots
What Now Los Angeles reports that the planned storefront will pour the same coffee and matcha that regulars know from the trailer, along with specialty smoothies and milkshakes. The smoothies spotlight berries, superfoods and supergreens, keeping things firmly in "I earned this beach day" territory. The shift from mobile trailer to permanent shop fits into a broader Westside trend of operators locking in storefronts as neighborhood foot traffic and new housing bring more daytime and evening customers.
When To Expect It
The team plans to announce an exact opening date once permits and buildout are in the rearview, and locals can sign up for notifications on the brand's site in the meantime. For now the cafe's hours and final design details are still under wraps, giving Marina del Rey coffee fans a little suspense to go with their future caffeine fix.
