A small banner now hangs in the shade at 11740 San Vicente Boulevard, the corner most recently home to Rosti Tuscan Kitchen. It belongs to Lodge Bread, the sourdough bakery that started in Los Angeles in 2015. Half a mile east at 26th Street, a kiosk at Brentwood Town Center has been serving LEORA coffee and matcha since early October. Across from Brentwood Town Center, inside Brentwood Gardens, the former Ron Herman boutique is being turned into a sandwich and coffee counter.
Each of these is a morning-to-afternoon business. Together they move San Vicente's daytime routine into spaces that used to hold a Tuscan dining room, a fashion boutique and a sushi counter. The changes are coming in stages, so the boulevard you walk this Thursday will look different again by spring.
The Old Rosti Corner Becomes a Bakery
Lodge Bread specializes in naturally leavened sourdough breads and pastries. Before Brentwood it had three cafés, and its expansion plans also include Pasadena and Westlake Village. The bakery's own café locations page now lists 11740 San Vicente Blvd as one of its addresses.
This corner matters because of what it used to be. Rosti ran on a lunch-and-dinner rhythm, and a sourdough bakery runs on early-morning loaves and pastries. The same storefront is moving to a different part of the day.
LEORA Opened With the Small Piece First
LEORA built its following in Beverly Hills. Its first Brentwood presence is the kiosk at Brentwood Town Center, at the corner of 26th and San Vicente, serving coffee and matcha drinks. The bigger project is across the same courtyard. The former Blue Bottle and Kitsu Sushi spaces are being built out as a full LEORA all-day café, described as healthy, with a target of spring. LEORA's Beverly Hills every day menu gives a preview of the style.
So the courtyard is in between right now. Coffee is available at the kiosk, and the all-day kitchen is still behind construction. When the café opens, a corner that once split its traffic between a coffee bar and a sushi counter will run as one daytime operation from morning onward.
Sacco Turns a Boutique Into a Coffee Counter
The Brentwood Gardens space at 11677 San Vicente is the most unusual conversion on the list, because it was a clothing store. What Now Los Angeles reported that Sacco is scheduled to open there in Winter 2026, citing a press release from owner Giuseppe Sacco. The outlet describes the concept this way:
"a new food and lifestyle concept rooted in food, culture, and care"
According to the same What Now report, the menu centers on sandwiches, with a dedicated coffee program running from breakfast through the afternoon and a small selection of salads. Modern Luxury describes it as an Italian sub sandwich and coffee shop. Before this project, Sacco co-founded the luxury fashion marketplace Italist, which he exited in 2025. The concept also includes a design line called Sacco Editions, made up of objects and collaborations tied to design and culture.
The location adds to its daytime pull. What Now lists Cafe Landwer, Club Pilates, Ospi and Drybar among the other Brentwood Gardens tenants. A sandwich and coffee counter next to a Pilates studio and a blowout bar fits easily into a weekday morning errand.
The One Already Serving Covers the Other End of the Day
The opening that has already happened sits right in the middle of these addresses. Burger She Wrote opened at 11686 San Vicente Blvd. on Oct. 3, 2026. Westside Current reported that it is the brand's largest location, with 25 seats.
Its hours show how the boulevard is splitting up. Burger She Wrote opens at 11:30 a.m. every day and stays open until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. It takes lunch through late evening. The bakery, the sandwich counter and the all-day café across the street are aimed at the hours before 11:30.
How the Stretch Reads From West to East
On a walk or a drive this week, here is where each address stands, in street-number order, with the 26th Street courtyard at the end:
- 11677 San Vicente, Brentwood Gardens. Sacco, in the former Ron Herman space, with sandwiches and all-day coffee scheduled for Winter 2026.
- 11686 San Vicente. Burger She Wrote, open daily from 11:30 a.m.
- 11740 San Vicente. Lodge Bread, its banner up in the former Rosti Tuscan Kitchen.
- Brentwood Town Center, 26th and San Vicente. LEORA's coffee and matcha kiosk, with the full all-day café under construction across the courtyard and aimed at spring.
Two daytime anchors off the boulevard round out the morning. Layla Bagels has a Brentwood location at 900 S. Barrington Ave., serving the bagels that Modern Luxury highlighted in its August 27 roundup, including The Mia and The Scarlett. The Brentwood Farmers Market still runs Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 741 Gretna Green Way, year-round, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture's market roster as of October 1, 2026.
The Medians Change After the Storefronts Do
The next visible change on San Vicente after the storefronts will be in the median. The City and Council District 11 project map places the San Vicente Median Greening project between Montana Avenue and Darlington Avenue. It covers three medians, with water-wise planting, high-efficiency irrigation and turf removal, while protecting the historic Coral Trees.
The schedule has moved. In August 2025, Brentwood News reported that construction was expected to start in late 2026. The current project map, updated in late October 2026, now shows bidding and award in Winter 2026 to Spring 2027 and construction from Summer 2027 to Winter 2028, with the schedule subject to change.
That order matters for anyone who walks the boulevard every morning. If the projected dates hold, the new bakery, sandwich counter and all-day café arrive this winter and spring, before crews begin replanting under the Coral Trees in summer 2027.
At Pence Hathorn Silver, we track San Vicente one storefront at a time, because the businesses on these blocks shape what a Brentwood morning feels like for the people who live here.
