Kith founder Ronnie Fieg took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce some major moves in Los Angeles.
In his post, Fieg wrote that a “very special experience” is coming to West Hollywood that will “evolve” the Ronnie’s restaurant and brand. Called “Ronnie’s Pronto,” the restaurant is aimed at becoming “your new favorite breakfast, coffee, matcha and sandwich joint in L.A.”
“When opening the new West Hollywood shop, I wanted to bring a real piece of New York to the space,” Fieg’s wrote on Instagram. “The team is working super hard to create my favorite menu of reimagined NY classics along with new dishes and flavors that I’m super psyched about.”
As for when the new concept will open, it’s unclear. Although, Fieg concluded in his post that it’s coming “sooner than you think.”
Fieg and Kith aren’t new to the hospitality game, with longtime ice cream and cereal concept Kith Treats, Sadelle’s restaurant outposts in certain flagship stores, and the September debut of members-only luxury padel and wellness club Kith Ivy in NYC.
The team took it one step further late last year with the launch of its first independent restaurant venture, dubbed Ronnie’s, at the company’s new London flagship with a menu offering modern Mediterranean fare to classic Empire State staples.

Kith first landed in West Hollywood in February 2018 when the New York-based retailer became Fred Segal’s downstairs neighbor at 8500 Sunset Blvd. – occupying 3,500 square-feet of the lower level.
At the time of its opening, Kith’s West Hollywood store was its first West Coast flagship. Co-designed with Snarkitecture, the original store featured several signature Kith design details like 200 Air Jordan 6 casts hanging in between plants from the ceiling. On the right side of the store was a Kith Treats cereal bar, while the main shopping area featured an industrial aesthetic with concrete flooring and walls. In the center of the floor was a mini-shopping area sectioned off by glass fins where Kith’s footwear assortment was featured.
After its 2018 West Hollywood debut, Kith has since opened two other Los Angeles area flagships in Beverly Hills and Malibu.
