Mission Mission

Void has the scoop:

Thought you might enjoy. It wasn’t there yesterday. 22nd & Mission.

An impressive feat of acrobatics, courage, tenacity, and vision.

The word on the street is that Mission Minis, the golf-cart delivering organic cupcake bakers, will be opening up a retail store at 3168 22nd Street (between Capp and Mission).  I tried to reach them by phone to corroborate and get more details, but they are treating me like a drunk girl from the bar and not returning my calls.  Tears.  (link)

UPDATE: Mission Minis owner, Brandon, just gave us a shout.  They are aiming to open October 1st (permits willing) and they’ll be selling about 8 flavors a day, almost all for a $1.  They even have vegan and gluten-free flavors, including a vegan banana cake / maple glaze that SOUNDS AMAZING.

Evidence suggests that an “organic frozen yogurt” place called “Yotopia” is opening soon next to Latin American Club at 22nd and Valencia.  Hopefully it is not related to the Yotopia in Costa Mesa, because that place sounds like it really sucks (the signage suggests they are different).

This block of 22nd St. is rapidly going through a change.  Over the past few weeks, we have seen the opening Escape From New York Pizza (for better or worse, at least there is food readily available after 2am that is not a burrito) and Oz Smoke Shop (which seems to embody every stereotype of a hookah lounge imaginable).  Now we have an organic frozen yogurt place?  I cannot tell if it is going to turn into bridge-tube-n-track central or maintain its current status as a Mission-Bernal-Noe breeding ground.  Keep your eyes on this one; what happens on 22nd could easily unfold on the greater Valencia corridor.

Obviously the interior is still under construction, but the inside is starting to look pretty sterile.  Hopefully they hire a local muralist to spice the place up.
