Doomie’s to Open Upscale Vegan Eatery Next Door

Upscale vegan restaurant Cruciferous will debut this spring next door to vegan comfort food eatery Doomie’s Home Cookin’ in Los Angeles. The new restaurant is a joint collaboration between Doomie’s—which also opened a wildly popular Toronto location last year—and San Francisco Bay Area catering company S+M Vegan and will feature small, shareable plates. The restaurant’s menu will be comprised of from-scratch pastas, freshly baked bread, fermented vegan nut-based cheeses, and dishes made with preserved produce to serve as “umami boosters.” According to the founders, “Cruciferous will be [a] date-night, market-driven, upscale-casual restaurant … and create a dining destination for vegan and non-vegan food lovers alike.” Additionally, vegan ice cream parlor Cocobella Creamery will join Doomie’s and Cruciferous on the same block when it opens on April 1.
