Operating as an all-in-one café and market, Mrkt Space opened in late June at the Whitney Building in La Jolla Shores at 2202 Avenida de la Playa.
Owner Matt Powers said the facility offers “an enhanced casual experience” with everything from coffee to cocktails and breakfast to dinner.
“We use the Australian method of brewing coffee… resulting in a creamy, flavorful product,” said an Australian power. “But my business partners are Italian, so the menu reflects that.”
Items include avocado toast for breakfast and a light meal for lunch; take-out items such as baked goods, meat and cheese platters, salads and sandwiches; Vegetarian options and a market full of snacks and wine.
According to Power, afternoon offerings focus on the Italian-inspired aperitivo concept with cocktails and canapés.
“We’re rediscovering comfort, so it’s a higher quality experience,” he said.

Epig Brewing plans to open a La Jolla location at 1273 Prospect St. by the end of the summer. The 1,300-square-foot tasting room replaces a former art gallery and features a decking area with ocean views.
It will join two other Apig tasting rooms in the San Diego area.
Apig co-founder Todd Warshaw said moving to La Jolla was “an obvious choice.”
“We knew there was demand for our award-winning beers in neighborhoods other than Vista and Point Loma, so our co-founders looked for ideal locations to expand,” he said. “The Village of La Jolla” [is] …a prime location, constantly frequented by both community and tourists, a great local property owner [is] Look forward to working with us, and who can ignore the sea view and breeze? We can’t wait to bring fresh, local craft beer to the neighborhood.
Established in 2016 and rooted in the Bavarian family’s history of beer brewing and traditional styles, Apig has expanded in recent years to include wheat beers, pilsners, smoked lagers, specialty beers, IPAs and sours.

Bye bye piadine
After nearly two years at The Village, the Ciao Ciao Piadina restaurant closed in late June and is being redeveloped into an Italian market and wine bar at 510 Pearl St.
Giacomo Pizzigoni, managing partner of Milano Five Group, which operates Ambrogio15 in Pacific Beach and Semola in La Jolla, said the concept is being “transformed into something we love to do, which is quality Italian produce.”
He said his Ambrogio15 customers wanted “a place where they can buy our natural wines, for which we are exclusive carriers, and the products we use in our restaurants,” such as 30-year-old balsamic vinegar and meat and cheese specialties. .
“When you eat at Ambrogio15, you can find the products that we use in this new market and take them home,” said Pizzigoni.
Renovations at Ciao Ciao Piadina begin in September, and Pizzigoni said he expects to open in November. In addition to a retail market, it will offer wines by the glass or flights, as well as small bites like meats, cheeses and breads.

BRCC member Ron Fineman said an app owner can get a variety of discounts from participating companies. Bird Rock Coffee Roasters, for example, is offering a 15 percent discount on all coffee orders. Bird Rock Surf Shop is offering 10 percent off all clothing items. Others offer one-time promotions and special offers for app owners, such as B. Dollar mimosa.
He said there are services ranging from music lessons to plumbing for children.
“Our goal is to get as many people as possible to sign up for this,” Fineman said. “We also want to attract more dealers. One great thing we appreciate is when people shop locally and keep money in the local economy. Many of these are services that you would not buy from a larger chain.”
“We’re all disappointed with the boarded-up storefront in La Jolla,” Fineman said. “But this is an opportunity to help those people and bring more traders to the community.”
