sandella’s flatbread cafe coming to the mandel lofts

Joining the neighborhood restaurant fray is Sandella’s Flatbread Cafe, which is beginning build-out in the Mandel Lofts at 7th and Olive.

With 125 locations now open — mainly in the South and on the East Coast — and 350 more planned, if you haven’t heard the name yet, you probably will soon. It could be the beginning of a “flat food revolution” in Downtown:  Pizzas, quesadillas, wraps, paninis and even rice bowls are made with Sandella’s signature toasted and grilled flatbreads.

Okay, maybe not a revolution, but another lunch and dinner option can’t hurt.

Don’t they have this up in Hollywood, next to Fresh and Easy?

I haven’t tried it. Anyone know about it?

Yes, there is a location in Hollywood (that I have yet to try).

Address correction: West 7th. East would put you at San Julian.

The sign looks like it it replaces Maizon (the Thai restaurant)? I hope the Thai restaurant is still opening…

Rich can you confirm whether the Thai restaurant is still opening? I have eaten at the Alhambra location and the food is good for the price.

Brigham and #6: The alcohol permit application signage is still up for Maison Metro. I’ll look into it, but remember that the Mandel Lofts has a number of retail spaces.

Maison Metro is definitely still happening.

From the owner today:

“We’re just in the process of obtaining our final permits. We hope to start construction in mid October with about a three month build-out.”
